چکیده

We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the 7Li condensate is quasipure and in thermal contact with a 6Li Fermi gas. The lowest common temperature is 0.28 microK approximately 0.2(1)T(C) = 0.2(1)T(F) where T(C) is the BEC critical temperature and T(F) the Fermi temperature. The 7Li condensate has a one-dimensional character.

Realization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture from a two-component Fermi gas.

We show the emergence of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture from a two-component Fermi mixture with population imbalance. By analyzing in situ density profiles of 6Li atoms in the BCS-BEC crossover regime, we identify a critical interaction strength, beyond which all minority atoms pair up with majority atoms and form a Bose condensate. This is the regime where the system can be effectiv...

Two-species mixture of quantum degenerate Bose and Fermi gases.

We have produced a macroscopic quantum system in which a 6Li Fermi sea coexists with a large and stable 23Na Bose-Einstein condensate. This was accomplished using interspecies sympathetic cooling of fermionic 6Li in a thermal bath of bosonic 23Na. The system features rapid thermalization and long lifetimes.

Formation of vortices in a dense Bose-Einstein condensate

A relaxation method is employed to study a rotating dense Bose-Einstein condensate beyond Thomas-Fermi approximation. We use a slave-boson model to describe the strongly interacting condensate and derive a generalized non-linear Schrödinger equation with kinetic term for the rotating condensate. In comparison with previous calculations, based on Thomas-Fermi approximation, significant improveme...

Pair-correlation in Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermi Superfluid of Atomic Gases

We describe pair-correlation inherent in the structure of many-particle ground state of quantum gases, namely, Bose Einstein condensate and Cooper-paired Fermi superfluid of atomic gases. We make a comparative study on the pair-correlation properties of these two systems. We discuss how to probe this pair-correlation by stimulated light scattering. This intrinsic pair-correlation may serve as a...
