Abstract

We study the properties of a single-component (spin polarized) degenerate dipolar Fermi gas of 161 Dy atoms using a hydrodynamic description. Under axially-symmetric trapping we suggest reduced one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) descriptions for the cigar and disc shapes, respectively. In addition to a complete numerical solution of the hydrodynamic model we also consider a variational approximation. For a trapped system under appropriate conditions, the variational approximation as well as the reduced 1D and 2D models are found to yield results for the shape, size and chemical potential of the system in agreement with the full numerical solution of the three-dimensional (3D) model. For the uniform system we consider anisotropic sound propagation in 3D. An analytical result for anisotropic sound propagation in a uniform dipolar degenerate Fermi gas is found to be in agreement with the results of numerical simulation in 3D.

Stability of trapped degenerate dipolar Bose and Fermi gases

S K Adhikari

Trapped degenerate dipolar Bose and Fermi gases of the cylindrical symmetry with the polarization vector along the symmetry axis are only stable for the strength of dipolar interaction below a critical value. In the case of bosons, the stability of such a dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is investigated for different strengths of contact and dipolar interactions using a variational approximation and a numerical solution of a mean-field model. In the disc shape, with the polarization vector perpendicular to the plane of the disc, the atoms experience an overall dipolar repulsion and this fact should contribute to the stability. However, a complete numerical solution of the dynamics leads to the collapse of a strongly disc-shaped dipolar BEC due to the long-range anisotropic dipolar interaction. In the case of fermions, the stability of a trapped single-component degenerate dipolar Fermi gas is studied including the Hartree–Fock exchange and Brueckner–Goldstone correlation energies in the local-density approximation valid for a large number of atoms. Estimates for the maximum allowed number of polar Bose and Fermi molecules in the BEC and degenerate Fermi gas are given.

One- and two-dimensional reductions of the mean-field description of degenerate Fermi gases

Diaz, P., Laroze, D., Ivan A. Schmidt +1 more

We study collective behavior of Fermi gases trapped in various external potentials, including optical lattices (OLs), in the framework of the mean-field (hydrodynamic) description. Using the variational method, we derive effective dynamical equations for the one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) settings from the general 3D mean-field equation. The respective confinement is provided by trapping potentials with the cylindrical and planar symmetry, respectively. The resulting equations are nonpolynomial Schr% \"{o}dinger equations (NPSEs) coupled to equations for the local transverse size of the trapped states. Numerical simulations demonstrate close agreement of results produced by the underlying 3D equation and the effective low-dimensional ones. We consider the ground state in these settings. In particular, analytical solutions are obtained for the effectively 2D non-interacting Fermi gas. Differences between the 1D and 2D configurations are highlighted. Finally, we analyze the dependence of the 1D and 2D density patterns of the trapped gas, in the presence of the OL, on the strengths of the confining and OL potentials, and on the scattering length which determines the strength of interactions between non-identical fermions.

Two-body problem of impurity atoms in dipolar Fermi gas

Eiji Nakano, Takahiko Miyakawa, Hiroyuki Yabu

The polarized dipolar Fermi gas shows exotic properties at low temperatures, characterized by an axially-deformed Fermi surface and anisotropic single-particle energy, due to the long-range and anisotropic nature of dipole-dipole interaction. In cold-atom experiments such a system has been realized, e.g., in degenerate gas of Er and Dy atoms. In the case that non-dipolar impurity atoms are introduced in such system, they undergoes an induced interaction mediated by the density fluctuations of the background dipolar Fermi gas. We derive the induced interaction potential to the single-loop order of fluctuations and show that it becomes indeed an anisotropic Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida-type potential which preserves the axial symmetry around the polarization axis. We then solve the two-body problem of impurity atoms interacting via the anisotropic potential and figure out the dependence of bound state and scattering properties on the parameters of dipolar Fermi gas.

Hydrodynamic excitations of trapped dipolar fermions

Krzysztof Góral, Mirosław Brewczyk, Kazimierz Rza̧żewski

A single-component Fermi gas of polarized dipolar particles in a harmonic trap can undergo a mechanical collapse due to the attractive part of the dipole-dipole interaction. This phenomenon can be conveniently manipulated by the shape of the external trapping potential. We investigate the signatures of the instability by studying the spectrum of low-lying collective excitations of the system in the hydrodynamic regime. To this end, we employ a time-dependent variational method as well as exact numerical solutions of the hydrodynamic equations of the system.
