  Two-dimensional tight-binding models for quasicrystals made of plaquettes
with commensurate areas are considered. Their energy spectrum is computed as a
function of an applied perpendicular magnetic field. Landau levels are found to
emerge near band edges in the zero-field limit. Their existence is related to
an effective zero-field dispersion relation valid in the continuum limit. For
quasicrystals studied here, an underlying periodic crystal exists and provides
a natural interpretation to this dispersion relation. In addition to the slope
(effective mass) of Landau levels, we also study their width as a function of
the magnetic flux per plaquette and identify two fundamental broadening
mechanisms: (i) tunneling between closed cyclotron orbits and (ii) individual
energy displacement of states within a Landau level. Interestingly, the typical
broadening of the Landau levels is found to behave algebraically with the
magnetic field with a nonuniversal exponent.
