Thermodynamics of interacting fermions in atomic traps.

چکیده
We calculate the entropy in a trapped, resonantly interacting Fermi gas as a function of temperature for a wide range of magnetic fields between the BCS and Bose-Einstein condensation end points. This provides a basis for the important technique of adiabatic sweep thermometry and serves to characterize quantitatively the evolution and nature of the excitations of the gas. The results are then used to calibrate the temperature in several ground breaking experiments on (6)Li and (40)K.

Thermodynamics of Ultracold Fermions in Traps
The ability to tune the strength of the attractive interaction in trapped Fermi gases is revealing the nature of superfluidity (and superconductivity) in a hitherto unexplored regime. Within the last few years we have witnessed the discovery of strongly interacting Fermi gases; over the last year we have found strong evidence for their superfluidity. These interacting gases appear at intermedia...
متن کاملComposite fermion theory of rapidly rotating two-dimensional bosons
Ultracold neutral bosons in a rapidly rotating atomic trap have been predicted to exhibit fractional quantum Hall-like states. We describe how the composite fermion theory, used in the description of the fractional quantum Hall effect for electrons, can be applied to interacting bosons. Numerical evidence supporting the formation of composite fermions, each being the bound state of a boson and ...
متن کاملExotic superfluid states of lattice fermions in elongated traps.
We present real-space dynamical mean-field theory calculations for attractively interacting fermions in three-dimensional lattices with elongated traps. The critical polarization is found to be 0.8, regardless of the trap elongation. Below the critical polarization, we find unconventional superfluid structures where the polarized superfluid and Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-type states emerg...
متن کاملUniversality in Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases
The theory of strongly interacting fermions is of great interest. Interacting fermions are involved in some of the most important unanswered questions in condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Though weakly-interacting fermions are well understood, new approaches are required to treat strong interactions. In these cases, one encounters a “strongly correlated” pic...
متن کاملA Fortran 90 program to solve the Hartree-Fock equations for interacting spin-1/2 fermions confined in harmonic potentials
A set of weakly interacting spin-1 2 Fermions, confined by a harmonic oscillator potential, and interacting with each other via a contact potential, is a model system which closely represents the physics of a dilute gas of two-component fermionic atoms confined in a magneto-optic trap. In the present work, our aim is to present a Fortran 90 computer program which, using a basis set expansion te...
