Abstract

We consider a gas mixture consisting of spinless fermions and bosons in one dimension interacting via a repulsive [Formula: see text]-function potential. Bosons and fermions are assumed to have equal masses and the interaction strength between bosons and among bosons and fermions is the same. Using the Bethe ansatz solution of the model, we study the ground state properties, the dressed energy potentials for the two bands of rapidities, the elementary particle and hole excitations, the thermodynamics, the finite size corrections to the ground state energy leading to the conformal towers, and the asymptotic behavior at large distances of some relevant correlation functions. The low-energy excitations of the system form a two-component Luttinger liquid. In an elongated optical trap the gas phase separates as a function of the distance from the center of the trap.

Threshold singularities in the one-dimensional supersymmetric boson–fermion gas mixture

P. Schlottmann

A one-dimensional gas mixture consisting of bosons and fermions without spin interacting via a repulsive [Formula: see text]-function potential is considered. The model is integrable and soluble via two nested Bethe ansatz, if all particles are assumed to have equal masses and the interaction strength between the bosons and among the bosons and fermions is the same. The low energy excitation spectrum is a two-component Luttinger liquid and can be parametrized by a conformal field theory with conformal charges c = 1. In the low-energy limit, where the band curvature terms in the dispersion can be neglected, the linear dispersion of a Luttinger liquid is asymptotically exact. The spectral function, however, displays deviations from the Luttinger behavior for higher energy excitations. In the neighborhood of the single-particle (hole) energy, the spectral function is represented by an effective X-ray edge type model. Expressions of the critical exponents for the single-hole Green’s function are obtained using the Bethe ansatz solution in the limit of the bosonic gas. The results could be of relevance in the context of ultracold atoms confined to an elongated optical trap.

Threshold singularities in a Fermi gas with attractive potential in one dimension

P. Schlottmann, Andrei A. Zvyagin

We consider the one-dimensional gas of fermions with spin S interacting via an attractive δ -function potential using the Bethe Ansatz solution. In zero magnetic field the atoms form bound states of N = 2 S + 1 fermions, i.e. generalized Cooper states with each atom having a different spin component. For low energy excitations the system is a Luttinger liquid and is properly described by a conformal field theory with conformal charge c = 1 . The linear dispersion of a Luttinger liquid is asymptotically exact in the low-energy limit where the band curvature terms in the dispersion are irrelevant. For higher energy excitations, however, the spectral function displays deviations in the neighborhood of the single-particle (hole) energy, which can be described by an effective X-ray edge type model. Using the Bethe Ansatz solution we obtain expressions for the critical exponents for the single-particle (hole) Green's function. This model can be relevant in the context of ultracold atoms with effective total spin S confined to an elongated optical trap.

Exactly solvable case of a one-dimensional Bose–Fermi mixture

Adilet Imambekov, Eugene Demler

We consider a one-dimensional interacting Bose-Fermi mixture with equal masses of bosons and fermions, and with equal and repulsive interactions between Bose-Fermi and Bose-Bose particles. Such a system can be realized in experiments with ultracold boson and fermion isotopes in optical lattices. We use the Bethe-ansatz technique to find the ground state energy at zero temperature for any value of interaction strength and density ratio between bosons and fermions. We prove that the mixture is always stable against demixing. Combining exact solution with the local density approximation, we calculate density profiles and collective oscillation modes in a harmonic trap. In the strongly interating regime, we use exact wave functions to calculate correlation functions for bosons and fermions under periodic boundary conditions.

Bethe-ansatz study of the Bose-Fermi mixture

Soham Chandak, Aleksandra Petković, Zoran Ristivojević

We consider a one-dimensional mixture of bosons and spinless fermions with contact interactions. In this system, the elementary excitations at low energies are described by four linearly dispersing modes characterized by two excitation velocities. Here we study the velocities in a system with equal interaction strengths and equal masses of bosons and fermions. The resulting model is integrable and admits an exact Bethe-ansatz solution. We analyze it and analytically derive various exact results, which include the Drude weight matrix. We show that the excitation velocities can be calculated from the knowledge of the matrices of compressibility and the Drude weights, as their squares are the eigenvalues of the product of the two matrices. The elements of the Drude weight matrix obey certain sum rules as a consequence of Galilean invariance. Our results are consistent with the presence of a momentum-momentum coupling term between the two subsystems of bosons and fermions in the effective low-energy Hamiltonian. The analytical method developed in the present study can be extended to other models that possess a nested Bethe-ansatz structure.

Exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions

Shi-Jian Gu, Junpeng Cao, Shu Chen +1 more

The exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions with δ-function interactions are studied. Some new sets of Bethe ansatz equations are obtained by using the graded nest quantum inverse scattering method. Many interesting features appear in the system. For example, the wave function has the SU(2|2) supersymmetry. It is also found that the ground state of the system is partial polarized, where the fermions form a spin singlet state and the bosons are totally polarized. From the solution of Bethe ansatz equations, it is shown that all the momentum, spin and isospin rapidities at the ground state are real if the interactions between the particles are repulsive; while the fermions form two-particle bounded states and the bosons form one large bound state, which means the bosons condensed at the zero momentum point, if the interactions are attractive. The charge, spin and isospin excitations are discussed in detail. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are also derived and their solutions at some special cases are obtained analytically.

Ground-state and elemental excitations of the one-dimensional multicomponent Fermi gas with delta -function interaction

P. Schlottmann

We consider a gas of fermions with parabolic dispersion and N spin components (or spin S, N=2S+1) with SU(N) symmetry in one dimension interacting via a delta -function potential. The model is integrable and its solution has been obtained by Sutherland in terms of N nested Bethe ansatze. The ground-state Bethe ansatz integral equations are solved numerically for both repulsive and attractive interactions to obtain the energy, the chemical potential, and the magnetic susceptibility as a function of the band filling and the interaction strength. For the repulsive interaction the Fermi gas has the properties of a Luttinger liquid. In the attractive case, on the other hand, the fermions in the ground-state form bound states of up to N fermions of different spin components. The spectrum of elemental charge and spin excitations is derived for the repulsive and attractive situations. The spectrum is discussed in the limits of vanishing interaction strength and very strong coupling. For the repulsive interaction the low-lying charge excitations can be characterized by the Fermi momentum and the Fermi velocity. The range of the spin-wave excitations is correlated with the Fermi momentum of the charges. The spin wave velocity is inversely proportional to the magnetic susceptibility. The spin-wave excitations become soft in the infinite-repulsive-coupling limit. In the attractive case in zero field all excitation branches except that of bound states of N fermions have an energy gap. It requires a finite energy to break these bound states and hence there is no response to a field smaller than a critical field. The low-T specific heat is proportional to the temperature.
