Abstract

We consider dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional square lattice and a harmonic trapping potential. The anisotropy of the dipolar interaction combined with the lattice leads to transitions between phases with density order of different symmetries. We show that the attractive part of the dipolar interaction results in a superfluid phase that is suppressed by density order. The trapping potential is demonstrated to make the different phases coexist, forming ring and island structures. The phases with density and superfluid order can overlap, forming regions with supersolid order.

Supersolid phases of dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional-lattice bilayer array

Arturo Camacho-Guardian, R. Paredes

Supersolid phases as a result of a coexistence of superfluid and density ordered checkerboard phases are predicted to appear in ultracold Fermi molecules confined in a bilayer array of two-dimensional square optical lattices. We demonstrate the existence of these phases within the inhomogeneous mean-field approach. In particular, we show that tuning the interlayer separation distance at a fixed value of the chemical potential produces different fractions of superfluid, density ordered, and supersolid phases.

Dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional lattice at nonzero temperature

Anne-Louise Gadsbølle, Georg M. Bruun

We examine density-ordered and superfluid phases of fermionic dipoles in a two-dimensional square lattice at nonzero temperature. The critical temperature of the density-ordered phases is determined and is shown to be proportional to the coupling strength for strong coupling. We calculate the superfluid fraction and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature of the superfluid phase. We finally analyze the effects of an external harmonic trapping potential.

Superfluid Phases of Dipolar Fermions in Harmonically Trapped Optical Lattices

Dog̃a Murat Kürkçüog̃lu, Han Li, C. A. R. Sá de Melo

We describe the emergence of superfluid phases of ultracold dipolar fermions in optical lattices for two-dimensional systems. Considering the many-body screening of dipolar interactions at intermediate and larger filling factors, we show that several superfluid phases with distinct pairing symmetries naturally arise in the singlet channel: local s-wave $(sl)$, extended s-wave $(se)$, d-wave $(d)$ or time-reversal-symmetry breaking $(sl + se \pm id)$-wave. We obtain the temperature versus filling factor phase diagram and show that d-wave pairing is favored near half-filling, that $(sl + se)$-wave is favored near zero or full filling, and that time-reversal-breaking $(sl + se \pm id)$-wave is favored in between. The inclusion of a harmonic trap reveals that a sequence of phases can coexist in the cloud depending on the filling factor at the center of the trap. Most notably in the spatial region where the $(sl + se \pm id)$-wave superfluid occurs, spontaneous currents are generated, and may be detected using velocity sensitive Bragg spectroscopy.

Topological supersolidity of dipolar Fermi gases in a spin-dependent optical lattice

Huan‐Yu Wang, Zhen Zheng, Lin Zhuang +3 more

Abstract We investigate the topological supersolid states of dipolar Fermi gases trapped in a spin-dependent 2D optical lattice. Our results show that topological supersolid states can be achieved via the combination of topological superfluid states with the stripe order. Different from the general held belief that supersolid state in fermionic system can only survive with simultaneous coexistence of the repulsive and attractive dipolar interaction. We demonstrate that it can be maintained when the dipolar interaction is attractive in both x and y direction. By adjusting the ratio of hopping amplitude between different directions and dipolar interaction strength U , the system will undergo a phase transition among p x + i p y superfluid state, p y -wave superfluid state, and the topological supersolid state. The supersolid state in the attractive environment is proved to be stable by the positive sign of the inverse compressibility. We also design an experimental protocol to realize the staggered next-next-nearest-neighbor hopping via the laser assisted tunneling technique, which is the key to simulate the spin-dependent potential.

Superfluid and supersolid phases in optical lattices in two dimensions

Arturo Camacho-Guardian, R. Paredes

This work addresses the study of superfluid and supersolid phases of dipolar Fermi molecules lying in a two dimensional space. The prediction of these phases, performed within a mean field analysis, results from proposing a model in which interacting Fermi molecules are confined in a bilayer array of parallel lattices with square symmetry. As a result of the repulsive intralayer and attractive interlayer interactions between dipolar molecules, a checkerboard pattern and a paired superfluid regimes can emerge. The supersolid phase is identified as the spatial coexistence of density ordered and superfluid phases. The model here proposed can be implemented within the current experimental capabilities as a function of the interlayer separation and the application of an external electric field varying the dipolar interaction between molecules.

Coexistence of density wave and superfluid order in a dipolar Fermi gas

Zhigang Wu, Jens K. Block, Georg M. Bruun

We analyze the coexistence of superfluid and density wave (stripe) order in a quasi-two-dimensional gas of dipolar fermions aligned by an external field. Remarkably, the anisotropic nature of the dipolar interaction allows for such a coexistence in a large region of the zero-temperature phase diagram. In this region, the repulsive part of the interaction drives the stripe formation and the attractive part induces the pairing, resulting in a supersolid with $p$-wave Cooper pairs aligned along the stripes. From a momentum space perspective, the stability of the supersolid phase is due to the fact that the stripe order renders the Fermi surface only partially gapped, leaving gapless regions that are most important for $p$-wave pairing. We briefly discuss how this supersolid phase can be detected in time-of-flight experiments.
