In terms of the Thomas–Fermi method, we solve the ground state energy of the N-body 1D harmonically trapped spin-1/2 fermion gas with the attractive δ-function interaction in the limit N → ∞ .
The ground state of a one-dimensional δ-function attractive spin-1/2 fermions is studied by the nested Bethe ansatz method. Explicitly, the Gaudin integral equation for the system is solved in the form of power series with arbitrary spin polarization. The first few terms of the asymptotic expansions for both strong and weak coupling cases are calculated analytically. The physical quantities, such as the ground state energy and the chemical potentials, are expressed in terms of the dimensionless coupling constant and the polarization , where c is the coupling constant and are the number densities of the spin-up (down) particles. While in the limiting case P = 1, the system consists of spinless free fermions, the other limit P = 0 describes the BCS–BEC crossover in one dimension. As a function of P , the evolution is continuous and smooth.
We derive the density functional for the ground-state energy of a two-dimensional, spin-polarized gas of neutral fermionic atoms with magnetic-dipole interaction, in the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac approximation. For many atoms in a harmonic trap, we give analytical solutions for the single-particle spatial density and the ground-state energy, in dependence on the interaction strength, and we discuss the weak-interaction limit that is relevant for experiments. We then lift the restriction of full spin polarization and account for a time-independent inhomogeneous external magnetic field. The field strength necessary to ensure full spin polarization is derived.
