Ferromagnetic transition of a spin–orbit coupled dipolar Fermi gas at finite temperature*

Xue-Jing Feng, Lan Yin

Abstract

We study the ferromagnetic transition of a two-component homogeneous dipolar Fermi gas with 1D spin–orbit coupling (SOC) at finite temperature. The ferromagnetic transition temperature is obtained as functions of dipolar constant λ d, spin–orbit coupling constant λ SOC and contact interaction constant λ s. It increases monotonically with these three parameters. In the ferromagnetic phase, the Fermi surfaces of different components can be deformed differently. The phase diagrams at finite temperature are obtained.

Phase Diagram of a Spin-Orbit Coupled Dipolar Fermi Gas at T = 0 K*

Xue-Jing Feng, Lan Yin

We study a homogeneous two-component dipolar Fermi gas with 1D spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at zero temperature and find that the system undergoes a transition from the paramagnetic phase to the ferromagnetic phase under suitable dipolar interaction constant λ d, SOC constant λ SOC and contact interaction constant λ s. This phase transition can be of either 1st order or 2nd order, depending on the parameters. Near the 2nd-order phase transition, the system is partially magnetized in the ferromagnetic phase. With SOC, the ferromagnetic phase can even exist in the absence of the contact interaction. The increase in dipolar interaction, SOC strength, and contact interaction are all helpful to stabilize the ferromagnetic state. The critical dipolar interaction strength at the phase transition can be reduced by the increase in SOC strength or contact interaction. Phase diagrams of these systems are obtained.

Itinerant ferromagnetism entrenched by the anisotropy of spin–orbit coupling in a dipolar Fermi gas

Xue-Jing Feng, Jinxin Li, Lu Qin +7 more

We investigate the itinerant ferromagnetism in a dipolar Fermi atomic system with the anisotropic spin–orbit coupling (SOC), which is traditionally explored with isotropic contact interaction. We first study the ferromagnetism transition boundaries and the properties of the ground states through the density and spin-flip distribution in momentum space, and we find that both the anisotropy and the magnitude of the SOC play an important role in this process. We propose a helpful scheme and a quantum control method which can be applied to conquering the difficulties of previous experimental observation of itinerant ferromagnetism. Our further study reveals that exotic Fermi surfaces and an abnormal phase region can exist in this system by controlling the anisotropy of SOC, which can provide constructive suggestions for the research and the application of a dipolar Fermi gas. Furthermore, we also calculate the ferromagnetism transition temperature and novel distributions in momentum space at finite temperature beyond the ground states from the perspective of experiment.

Itinerant ferromagnetism of a dipolar Fermi gas with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling

Xue-Jing Feng, Xing-Dong Zhao, Lu Qin +5 more

We elucidate the itinerant ferromagnetism of a dipolar Fermi gas with a Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling by investigating the exotic phase diagrams. It is revealed that the dipolar interaction along with spin-orbit coupling can corroborate the formation of ferromagnetism and that the Raman coupling adversely eliminates the tendency to this ferromagnetism transition, which greatly transcends the general understanding of this subject with contact interaction only. We explore the ground states through the density and spin-flip distribution in momentum space. We calculate the transition temperatures well within the reach of an experimental system when altering the dipolar and spin-orbit-coupling strength, which paves a way to the further experimental realization.

Spontaneous generation of spin-orbit coupling in magnetic dipolar Fermi gases

Takaaki Sogo, Mi­chael Urban, Peter Schuck +1 more

The stability of an unpolarized two-component dipolar Fermi gas is studied within mean-field theory. Besides the known instability towards spontaneous magnetization with Fermi sphere deformation, another instability toward spontaneous formation of a spin-orbit coupled phase with a Rashba-like spin texture is found. A phase diagram is presented and consequences are briefly discussed.

Ferronematic Ground State of the Dilute Dipolar Fermi Gas

Benjamin M. Fregoso, Eduardo Fradkin

It is shown that a homogeneous two-component Fermi gas with (long-range) dipolar and short-range isotropic interactions has a ferronematic phase for suitable values of the dipolar and short-range coupling constants. The ferronematic phase is characterized by having a nonzero magnetization and long-range orientational uniaxial order. The Fermi surface of the spin-up (-down) component is elongated (compressed) along the direction of the magnetization.

Field-induced ferromagnetic phase transition in two-dimensional Fermi systems with magnetic dipole-dipole interaction

G. H. Bordbar, Fatemeh Pouresmaeeli, A. Poostforush

Magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) spin-polarized Fermi gas with dipole-dipole interaction are studied in the presence of external magnetic field at zero temperature. Within perturbation theory and the second quantization formalism, the total energy is explicitly obtained as a function of three dimensionless parameters: the spin polarization, dipolar coupling, and Zeeman parameters. We examine the effects of these agents on the magnetic properties of 2D Fermi gas. The results show that an induced ferromagnetic phase transition is observed only for adequately large values of magnetic field. This paper offers two controllable factors to change the spin polarization of the system.
