Fe b 20 06 Strongly correlated Fermi - Bose mixtures in disordered optical lattices

چکیده
We investigate theoretically the low-temperature physics of a two-component ultracold mixture of bosons and fermions in disordered optical lattices. We focus on the strongly correlated regime. We show that, under specific conditions, composite fermions, made of one fermion plus one bosonic hole, form. The composite picture is used to derive an effective Hamiltonian whose parameters can be controlled via the boson-boson and the boson-fermion interactions, the tunneling terms and the inhomogeneities. We finally investigate the quantum phase diagram of the composite fermions and we show that it corresponds to the formation of Fermi glasses, spin glasses, and quantum percolation regimes.

متن کاملAtomic fermi-bose mixtures in inhomogeneous and random lattices: from fermi glass to quantum spin glass and quantum percolation.
We investigate strongly interacting atomic Fermi-Bose mixtures in inhomogeneous and random optical lattices. We derive an effective Hamiltonian for the system and discuss its low temperature physics. We demonstrate the possibility of controlling the interactions at local level in inhomogeneous but regular lattices. Such a control leads to the achievement of Fermi glass, quantum Fermi spin-glass...
متن کاملMomentum-Resolved Bragg Spectroscopy in Optical Lattices
Strongly correlated many-body systems show various exciting phenomena in condensed matter physics such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. Recently, strongly correlated phases could also be studied in ultracold quantum gases possessing analogies to solid-state physics, but moreover exhibiting new systems such as Fermi-Bose mixtures and magnetic quantum phases w...
متن کاملInteraction-dependent temperature effects in Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices.
We present a quantitative finite temperature analysis of a recent experiment with Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices, in which the dependence of the coherence of bosons on the interspecies interaction was analyzed. Our theory reproduces the characteristics of this dependence and suggests that intrinsic temperature effects play an important role in these systems. Namely, under the assumptio...
متن کاملDynamical mean-field theory for light-fermion–heavy-boson mixtures on optical lattices
We theoretically analyze Fermi-Bose mixtures consisting of light fermions and heavy bosons that are loaded into optical lattices ignoring the trapping potential . To describe such mixtures, we consider the Fermi-Bose version of the Falicov-Kimball model on a periodic lattice. This model can be exactly mapped onto the spinless Fermi-Fermi Falicov-Kimball model at zero temperature for all paramet...
