| contents | The mosaic Wannier Stark lattice has gained increasing prominence as a disorder free system exhibiting unconventional localization behavior induced by spatially periodic Stark potentials. In the infinite size limit, exact spectral analysis reveals an almost pure point spectrum. There is no true mobility edge, except for (M 1) isolated extended states, which are accompanied by weakly localized modes with diverging localization lengths. Motivated by this spectral structure, we investigate the mosaic Wannier Stark model under finite-size. In such systems, additional low energy boundary localized states emerge due to boundary residuals when the system length is not commensurate with the modulation period. These states are effectively distinguished and identified using the inverse participation ratio (IPR) and spatial expectation values. To explore their response to non-Hermitian perturbations, complex on site potentials are introduced to simulate gain and loss. As the non-Hermitian strength increases, only the weakly localized states undergo progressive delocalization, exhibiting a smooth crossover from localization to spatial extension. |
