Abstract

We investigate the ground-state properties of two-component Bose gases confined in one-dimensional harmonic traps in the scheme of density-functional theory. The density-functional calculations employ a Bethe-ansatz-based local-density approximation for the correlation energy, which accounts for the correlation effect properly from the weakly interacting regime to the strongly interacting regime. For the binary Bose mixture with spin-independent interaction, the homogeneous reference system is exactly solvable by the Bethe-ansatz method. Within the local-density approximation, we determine the density distribution of each component and study its evolution from Bose distributions to Fermi-like distribution with the increase in interaction. For the binary mixture of Tonks-Girardeau gases with a tunable interspecies repulsion, with a generalized Bose-Fermi transformation we show that the Bose mixture can be mapped into a two-component Fermi gas, which corresponds to exact soluble Yang-Gaudin model for the homogeneous system. Based on the ground-state energy function of the Yang-Gaudin model, the ground-state density distributions are calculated for various interspecies interactions. It is shown that with the increase in interspecies interaction, the system exhibits composite-fermionization crossover.

Ground State Density Distribution of Bose-Fermi Mixture in a One-Dimensional Harmonic Trap

Yajiang Hao

By the density-functional calculation we investigate the ground-state properties of Bose-Fermi mixture confined in one-dimensional harmonic traps. The homogeneous mixture of bosons and polarized fermions with contact interaction can be exactly solved by the Bethe-ansatz method. After giving the exact formula of ground state energy density, we employ the local-density approximation to determine the density distribution of each component. It is shown that with the increase in interaction, the total density distribution evolves to Fermi-like distribution and the system exhibits phase separation between two components when the interaction is strong enough but finite. While in the infinite interaction limit both bosons and fermions display the completely same Fermi-like distributions and phase separation disappears.

Ground-state properties of interacting two-component Bose gases in a hard-wall trap

Yajiang Hao, Yunbo Zhang, Xi‐Wen Guan +1 more

We investigate ground-state properties of interacting two-component Bose gases in a hard-wall trap using both the Bethe ansatz and exact numerical diagonalization method. For equal intra-atomic and interatomic interaction, the system is exactly solvable. Thus the exact ground-state wave-function and density distributions for the whole interacting regime can be obtained from the Bethe ansatz solutions. Since the ground state is a degenerate state with total spin $S=N/2$, the total density distributions are the same for each degenerate state. The total density distribution evolves from a Gauss-like Bose distribution to a Fermi-like one as the repulsive interaction increases. The distribution of each component is ${N}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}/N$ of the total density distribution. This is approximately true even in the experimental situation. In addition the numerical results show that with the increase in interspecies interaction the distributions of two Tonks-Girardeau gases exhibit composite-fermionization crossover with each component developing $N$ peaks in the strongly interacting regime.

Composite-fermionization of the mixture composed of Tonks gas and Fermi gas

Yajiang Hao

This paper investigates the ground-state properties of the mixture composed of the strongly interacting Tonks—Girardeau gas and spin polarized Fermi gas confined in one-dimensional harmonic traps, where the interaction between the Bose atoms and Fermi atoms is tunable. With a generalized Bose—Fermi transformation the mixture is mapped into a two-component Fermi gas. The homogeneous Fermi gas is exactly solvable by the Bethe-ansatz method and the ground state energy density can be obtained. Combining the ground-state energy function of the homogeneous system with local density approximation it obtains the ground-state density distributions of inhomogeneous mixture. It is shown that with the increase in boson—fermion interaction, the system exhibits composite-fermionization crossover.

Density-functional theory for one-dimensional harmonically trapped Bose-Fermi mixture

Hongmei Wang, Yajiang Hao, Yunbo Zhang

We present a density-functional theory for the one-dimensional harmonically trapped Bose-Fermi mixture with repulsive contact interactions. The ground-state density distribution of each component is obtained by solving the Kohn-Sham equations numerically based on the local density approximation and the exact solution for the homogeneous system given by Bethe ansatz method. It is shown that for sufficiently strong interaction, a considerable amount of fermions are repelled out of the central region of the trap, exhibiting partial phase separation of Bose and Fermi components. Oscillations emerge in the Bose density curves, reflecting the strong correlation with fermions. For infinitely strong interaction, the ground-state energy of the mixture and the total density are consistent with the scenario that all atoms in the mixture are fully fermionized.

Fermionization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

Bess Fang, Patrizia Vignolo, Christian Miniatura +1 more

We consider a strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixture confined in a harmonic trap. It consists of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas (1D Bose gas with repulsive hard-core interactions) and of a noninteracting Fermi gas (1D spin-aligned Fermi gas), both species interacting through hard-core repulsive interactions. Using a generalized Bose-Fermi mapping, we determine the one-body density matrices, exact particle density profiles, momentum distributions, and behavior of the mixture under 1D expansion when opening the trap. In real space, bosons and fermions do not display any phase separation: the respective density profiles extend over the same region and they both present a number of peaks equal to the total number of particles in the trap. In momentum space the bosonic component has the typical narrow TG profile, while the fermionic component shows a broad distribution with fermionic oscillations at small momenta. Due to the large boson-fermion repulsive interactions, both the bosonic and the fermionic momentum distributions decay as $C{p}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ at large momenta, like in the case of a pure bosonic TG gas. The coefficient $C$ is related to the two-body density matrix and to the bosonic concentration in the mixture. When opening the trap, both momentum distributions ``fermionize'' under expansion and turn into that of a Fermi gas with a particle number equal to the total number of particles in the mixture.

Yang-Yang thermodynamics of a Bose-Fermi mixture

Xiangguo Yin, Shu Chen, Yunbo Zhang

We investigate theoretically the behavior of a one-dimensional interacting Bose-Fermi mixture with equal masses and equal repulsive interactions between atoms at finite temperature in the scheme of thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. Combining the Yang-Yang thermodynamic formalism with local-density approximation in a harmonic trap, we calculate the density distribution of bosons and fermions numerically by treating the radially and axially excited states as discrete and continuous ones, respectively. Our result from exactly solvable solutions may be used as a touchstone for one-dimensional interacting Bose-Fermi mixture for experimental data fitting where mean-field theoretical approaches fail.
