Evaporative depolarization and spin transport in a unitary trapped Fermi gas

Meera M. Parish, David A. Huse

We consider a partially spin-polarized atomic Fermi gas in a high-aspect-ratio trap, with a flux of predominantly spin-up atoms exiting the center of the trap. We argue that such a scenario can be produced by evaporative cooling, and we find that it can result in a substantially nonequilibrium polarization pattern for typical experimental parameters. We offer this as a possible explanation for the quantitative discrepancies in recent experiments on spin-imbalanced unitary Fermi gases.

Limits to sympathetic evaporative cooling of a two-component Fermi gas

Michael Crescimanno, C. G. Kaoy, R. Peterson

We find a limit cycle in a quasiequilibrium model of evaporative cooling of a two-component trapped fermion gas. The existence of such a limit cycle represents an obstruction to reaching the quantum ground state evaporatively. We show that evaporatively $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\sim}O(1).$ We speculate that one may be able to cool an atomic Fermi gas further by photoassociating dimers near the bottom of the Fermi sea.

Onset of Fermi Degeneracy in a Trapped Atomic Gas

Brian DeMarco, D. S. Jin

An evaporative cooling strategy that uses a two-component Fermi gas was employed to cool a magnetically trapped gas of 7 x 10(5) (40)K atoms to 0.5 of the Fermi temperature T(F). In this temperature regime, where the state occupation at the lowest energies has increased from essentially zero at high temperatures to nearly 60 percent, quantum degeneracy was observed as a barrier to evaporative cooling and as a modification of the thermodynamics. Measurements of the momentum distribution and the total energy of the confined Fermi gas directly revealed the quantum statistics.
