Abstract

We discuss various superfluid properties of a two-component Fermi system in the presence of a tight one-dimensional periodic potential in a three-dimensional system. We use zero temperature mean field theory and derive analytical expressions for the Josephson current, the sound velocity, and the center-of-mass oscillations in the Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer-Bose Einstein condensation (BCS-BEC) crossover region.

Aspects of superfluid cold atomic gases in optical lattices

Gentaro Watanabe A, Sukjin Yoon

We review our studies on Bose and Fermi superfluids of cold atomic gases in optical lattices at zero temperature. Especially, we focus on superfluid Fermi gases along the crossover between the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) and the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states, which enable us to study the Bose and the Fermi superfluids in a unified point of view. We discuss basic static and long-wavelength properties (such as the equation of state, incompressibility, and effective mass), energetic stability, and energy band structures of the superfluid Fermi gases in an optical lattice periodic along one spatial direction. The periodic potential causes pairs of atoms to be strongly bound, and this can affect the static and long-wavelength properties and the stability of the superflow. Regarding the band structure, a peculiar loop structure called “swallowtail” can appear in superfluid Fermi gases and in the Bose case, but the mechanism of emergence in the Fermi case is very different from that in bosonic case. Other quantum phases that the cold atomic gases in optical lattices can show are also briefly discussed based on their roles as quantum simulators of Hubbard models.

Effects of periodic potentials on the critical velocity of superfluid Fermi gases in the BCS-BEC crossover

Gentaro Watanabe A, F. Dalfovo, Лев П. Питаевский +1 more

We study the effects of an external periodic potential on the critical velocity of a superfluid Fermi gas in the crossover between the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) phase and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). We numerically solve the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations to model a three-dimensional gas of ultracold atoms in the superfluid phase flowing through a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find that when the recoil energy is comparable to the Fermi energy, the presence of the periodic potential reduces the effect of pair-breaking excitations. This behavior is a consequence of the peculiar band structure of the quasiparticle energy spectrum in the lattice. When the lattice height is much larger than the Fermi energy, the periodic potential makes pairs of atoms to be strongly bound, even in the BCS regime, and pair-breaking excitations are further suppressed. We have also found that when the recoil energy is comparable to or larger than the Fermi energy, the critical velocity due to long-wavelength phonon excitations shows a nonmonotonic behavior along the BCS-BEC crossover.

Bogoliubov spectrum of a cigar-shaped Fermi superfluid in an optical lattice at the BEC–BCS crossover

Aranya B. Bhattacherjee

We study the Bogoliubov spectrum of an elongated Fermi superfluid confined in an one-dimensional superfluid along the Bose-Einstein-condensate (BEC)-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) crossover. We derive analytic expressions for the sound velocity, effective mass and the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum of the axial quasiparticles long the crossover based on the hydrodynamic theory. Our investigation reveal interesting signatures of BEC-BCS crossover in an optical lattice which deserve experimental investigation.

Sound waves and dynamics of superfluid Fermi gases in optical lattices

Ai‐Xia Zhang, Ju-Kui Xue

The sound waves, the stability of Bloch waves, the Bloch oscillation, and the self-trapping phenomenon in interacting two-component Fermi gases throughout the BEC-BCS crossover in one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) optical lattices are discussed in detail. Within the hydrodynamical theory and by using the perturbative and tight-binding approximation, sound speed in both weak and tight 1D, 2D, 3D optical lattices, and the criteria for occurrences of instability of Bloch waves and self-trapping of Fermi gases along the whole BEC-BCS crossover in tight 1D, 2D, 3D optical lattices are obtained analytically. The results show that the sound speed, the criteria for occurrences of instability of Bloch waves and self-trapping, and the destruction of Bloch oscillation are modified dramatically by the lattice parameters (lattice dimension and lattice strength), the atom density or atom number, and the atom interaction.

Multiple Period States of the Superfluid Fermi Gas in an Optical Lattice

Gentaro Watanabe A, Sukjin Yoon, F. Dalfovo +1 more

We study multiple period states (i.e., states whose period is a multiple of the lattice constant) of a two-component unpolarized superfluid Fermi gas in an optical lattice along the crossover between the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) and Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states. By solving Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for a superfluid flow with finite quasimomentum, we find that, in the BCS side of the crossover, the multiple period states can be energetically favorable compared to the normal Bloch states and their survival time against dynamical instability drastically increases, suggesting that these states can be accessible in current experiments. This is in sharp contrast to the situation in BECs.
