Static Properties of the Trapped Bose-Fermi Mixed Condensate of Alkali Atoms

Abstract

Static properties of a bose-fermi mixture of trapped potassium atoms are studied in terms of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii and Thomas-Fermi equations for both repulsive and attractive bose-fermi interatomic potentials. Qualitative estimates are given for solutions of the coupled equations, and the parameter regions are obtained analytically for the boson-density profile change and for the boson/fermion phase separation. Especially, the parameter ratio $R_{int}$ is found that discriminates the region of the large boson-profile change. These estimates are applied for numerical results for the potassium atoms and checked their consistency. It is suggested that a small fraction of fermions could be trapped without an external potential for the system with an attractive boson-fermion interaction.

Structure and stability of trapped atomic boson-fermion mixtures

Robert Roth

The structure of trapped binary mixtures of bosonic and fermionic atoms at zero temperature is studied using a modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the bosons which self-consistently includes the mean-field interaction generated by the fermionic cloud. The density of the fermionic component is described within the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The influence of the boson-boson and the boson-fermion s-wave interaction on the density profiles and the stability of the mixture is investigated systematically. Critical particle numbers for the mean-field collapse caused either by attractive boson-boson or by attractive boson-fermion interactions and for the onset of spatial component separation are discussed. It is shown that the interplay between the boson-boson and the boson-fermion interaction generates a rich and complex phase diagram. Finally, the specific properties and prospects of the boson-fermion mixtures available in present experiments are addressed.

Bose-Einstein condensate in a quartic potential:static and dynamic properties

Chaudhary, G.K., Amit Kumar Chattopadhyay, R. Ramakumar

In this paper, we present a theoretical study of a Bose-Einstein condensate of interacting bosons in a quartic trap in one, two, and three dimensions. Using Thomas-Fermi approximation, suitably complemented by numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we study the ground sate condensate density profiles, the chemical potential, the effects of cross-terms in the quartic potential, temporal evolution of various energy components of the condensate, and width oscillations of the condensate. Results obtained are compared with corresponding results for a bose condensate in a harmonic confinement.

Stable and unstable regimes in Bose-Fermi mixtures with attraction between components

A. M. Belemuk, Valentin Nikolaevich Ryzhov, S. T. Chui

The collapse of a trapped boson-fermion mixture with attraction between bosons and fermions is investigated in the framework of the effective Hamiltonian for the Bose system. The properties of an $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ and $^{40}\mathrm{K}$ mixture are analyzed quantitatively at $T=0$. We find numerically solutions of the modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation which continuously go from the stable to the unstable branch. We discuss how the conditions for the onset of collapse are related to the macroscopic properties of the system. A comparison with the case of a Bose condensate of the atomic $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ system is given.

Mean-field instability of trapped dilute boson-fermion mixtures

R. Roth, Hans Feldmeier

The influence of boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions on the stability of a binary mixture of bosonic and fermionic atoms is investigated. The density profiles of the trapped mixture are obtained from direct numerical solution of a modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation that is self-consistently coupled to the mean field generated by the interaction with the fermionic species, the fermions which in turn feel the mean field created by the bosons are treated in the Thomas-Fermi approximation. We study the effects of different combinations of signs of the boson-boson and the boson-fermion scattering lengths and determine explicit expressions for critical particle numbers as a function of these scattering lengths.

K-Rb Fermi-Bose mixtures: Vortex states and sag

Dora M. Jezek, M. Barranco, M. Guilleumas +2 more

We study a confined mixture of bosons and fermions in the quantal degeneracy regime with attractive boson-fermion interaction. We discuss the effect that the presence of vortical states and the displacement of the trapping potentials may have on mixtures near collapse, and investigate the phase stability diagram of the K-Rb mixture in the mean-field approximation supposing in one case that the trapping potentials felt by bosons and fermions are shifted from each other, as it happens in the presence of a gravitational sag, and in another case, assuming that the Bose condensate sustains a vortex state. In both cases, we have obtained an analytical expression for the fermion effective potential when the Bose condensate is in the Thomas-Fermi regime, that can be used to determine the maxima of the Fermionic density. We have numerically checked that the values one obtains for the location of these maxima using the analytical formulas remain valid up to the critical boson and fermion numbers, above which the mixture collapses.
