Thomas–Fermi–von Weizsäcker theory for a harmonically trapped, two-dimensional, spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas

Brandon P. van Zyl, E. Zaremba, P. Pisarski

We systematically develop a density functional description for the equilibrium properties of a two-dimensional, harmonically trapped, spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas based on the Thomas--Fermi--von Weizs\"acker approximation. We pay particular attention to the construction of the two-dimensional kinetic energy functional, where corrections beyond the local density approximation must be motivated with care. We also present an intuitive derivation of the interaction energy functional associated with the dipolar interactions and provide physical insight into why it can be represented as a local functional. Finally, a simple and highly efficient self-consistent numerical procedure is developed to determine the equilibrium density of the system for a range of dipole interaction strengths.

Density-functional theory for the crystalline phases of a two-dimensional dipolar Fermi gas

Brandon P. van Zyl, W. Kirkby, W. Ferguson

Density-functional theory is utilized to investigate the zero-temperature transition from a Fermi liquid to an inhomogeneous stripe, or Wigner crystal phase, predicted to occur in a one-component, spin-polarized, two-dimensional dipolar Fermi gas. Correlations are treated semiexactly within the local-density approximation using an empirical fit to quantum Monte Carlo data. We find that the inclusion of the nonlocal contribution to the Hartree-Fock energy is crucial for the onset of an instability to an inhomogeneous density distribution. Our density-functional theory supports a transition to both a one-dimensional stripe phase and a triangular Wigner crystal. However, we find that there is an instability first to the stripe phase, followed by a transition to the Wigner crystal at higher coupling.

Effect of correlation on the properties of 2D spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas

Rashmi Gangwar, Arup Banerjee, Amit Kumar Das

Abstract The spin-polarized 2D dipolar Fermi gas trapped in a harmonic potential provides an opportunity to study the many-fermion systems with strong particle–particle correlation in a controlled fashion. In this paper, we investigate the role of the correlation part of the interaction energy on the ground-state properties and on the collective oscillation frequencies of a 2D dipolar Fermi gas by employing density functional theory (DFT) within local density approximation. We employ a purely density-based, orbital-free approach of DFT to study the ground-state properties. We employ an orbital-free approach, as it is suitable for handling a large number of fermions (10 3 –10 4 atoms/molecules), which are typically the number of atoms/molecules contained in the samples of dipolar Fermi gas created in the laboratories. We derive analytical expressions for the frequencies of the monopole and quadrupole modes of the collective oscillations by employing a method based on the sum-rule approach of linear response theory. We find that the exchange and correlation part of the fermion–fermion interaction contributes significantly to the total energy, and their contributions increase with increasing number of fermions and interaction strength. In particular, the correlation part lowers the total energy of the 2D dipolar fermionic system, thereby stabilizing the system. Similarly, the inclusion of the correlation effect lowers the frequencies of the monopole mode of the collective oscillations appreciably in comparison to the case when this effect is not taken into account. On the other hand, the frequency of the quadrupole mode of the collective oscillations is not appreciably altered by the correlation part of the interaction over a wide range of values of interaction strength and number of fermions.
