Drag effect for a bilayer charged-Bose-gas system

Abstract

The Coulomb-drag effect, which has previously been considered theoretically and experimentally for a system of two electron gas layers, is studied for a system of two charged-Bose-gas (CBG) layers within an analytically solvable model. We consider a bilayer CBG in the presence of counterflow which, in superfluid mixtures and in spatially separated superconductors, leads to a drag effect. We investigate the effects of counterflow on the collective excitations, interaction energy, screened interactions, induced charge densities, and plasmon density of states in the bilayer CBG. These quantities, many of which have not been considered in connection with Coulomb drag in a bilayer electron gas, show how the many-body properties are affected, and thus provide additional insights into the drag effect. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Counterflow in Bose gas bilayers: Collective modes and dissipationless drag

Saeed H. Abedinpour, B. Tanatar

We investigate the collective density oscillations and dissipationless drag effect in bilayer structures of ultra-cold bosons in the presence of counterflow. We consider different types of inter-particle interactions and obtain the drag coefficient and effect of counterflow on the sound velocity. We observe that counterflow enhances (suppresses) the energy of symmetric (asymmetric) density mode and drives the homogeneous system towards instability. The dependence of the drag coefficient on the spacing between two layers is determined by the form of particle-particle interaction.

Superfluid drag in the two-component Bose-Hubbard model

Karl A. H. Sellin, Egor S. Babaev

In multicomponent superfluids and superconductors, co- and counterflows of components have, in general, different properties. A. F. Andreev and E. P. Bashkin [Sov. Phys. JETP 42, 164 (1975)] discussed, in the context of ${\mathrm{He}}^{3}/{\mathrm{He}}^{4}$ superfluid mixtures, that interparticle interactions produce a dissipationless drag. The drag can be understood as a superflow of one component induced by phase gradients of the other component. Importantly, the drag can be both positive (entrainment) and negative (counterflow). The effect is known to have crucial importance for many properties of diverse physical systems ranging from the dynamics of neutron stars and rotational responses of Bose mixtures of ultracold atoms to magnetic responses of multicomponent superconductors. Although substantial literature exists that includes the drag interaction phenomenologically, only a few regimes are covered by quantitative studies of the microscopic origin of the drag and its dependence on microscopic parameters. Here we study the microscopic origin and strength of the drag interaction in a quantum system of two-component bosons on a lattice with short-range interaction. By performing quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a two-component Bose-Hubbard model we obtain dependencies of the drag strength on the boson-boson interactions and properties of the optical lattice. Of particular interest are the strongly correlated regimes where the ratio of coflow and counterflow superfluid stiffnesses can diverge, corresponding to the case of saturated drag.

Critical currents and non-dissipative drag in quantum Hall multilayers

L. Yu. Kravchenko, D. V. Fil

Superfluid properties of electron-hole pairs in a quantum Hall four-layer system are investigated. The system is considered as a solid state realization of a two-component superfluid Bose gas with dipole-dipole interaction. One superfluid component is formed in the top bilayer and the other component - in the bottom one. We obtain the dispersion equation for the collective mode spectrum and compute the critical parameters (the critical interlayer distance and the critical currents) versus the filling factor. We find that the critical currents of the components depend on each other. The maximum critical current of a given component can be reached if the current of the other component is equal to zero. The non-dissipative drag effect between the components is studied. It is shown that in the system considered the drag factor is very large. Under appropriate conditions it can be about 10 per sent, that is at least in three order larder than one predicted for two-component atomic Bose gases.

Mutual dipolar drag in a bilayer Fermi gas

B. Renklioglu, Ben Yu-Kuang Hu, Mehmet Özgür Oktel +1 more

We consider two-dimensional spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gases confined in a double-layer system and calculate the momentum transfer between the layers as a function of temperature to investigate the transport properties of the system. We use the Hubbard approximation to describe the correlation effects and the screening between the dipoles within a single layer. The effective interlayer interaction between the dipoles across the layers is obtained by the random-phase approximation. We calculate the interaction strength and the layer separation distance dependence of the drag rate, and we show that there is a critical distance below which the system is unstable. In addition, we calculate the typical behavior of the collective modes related to the density fluctuations.

Drag Effect in Double-Layer Dipolar Fermi Gases

B. Tanatar, B. Renklioglu, Mehmet Özgür Oktel

We consider two parallel layers of two-dimensional spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas without any tunneling between the layers. The effective interactions describing screening and correlation effects between the dipoles in a single layer (intra-layer) and across the layers (interlayer) are modeled within the Hubbard approximation. We calculate the rate of momentum transfer between the layers when the gas in one layer has a steady flow. The momentum transfer induces a steady flow in the second layer which is assumed initially at rest. This is the drag effect familiar from double-layer semiconductor and graphene structures. Our calculations show that the momentum relaxation time has temperature dependence similar to that in layers with charged particles which we think is related to the contributions from the collective modes of the system.

Drag of superfluid current in bilayer Bose systems

D. V. Fil, S. I. Shevchenko

An effect of nondissipative drag of a superfluid flow in a system of two Bose gases confined in two parallel quasi-two-dimensional traps is studied. Using an approach based on the introduction of density and phase operators, we compute the drag current at zero and finite temperatures for arbitrary ratio of particle densities in the adjacent layers. We demonstrate that in a system of two ring-shaped traps the “drag force” influences the drag trap in the same way as an external magnetic flux influences a superconducting ring. This allows one to use the drag effect to control persistent current states in superfluids and opens up the possibility of implementing a Bose analog of the superconducting Josephson flux qubit.
