چکیده

where abg = 63.0 a0 is the background scattering length, ∆ = 0.88 G is the width, and B0 is the center of the resonance near 154.7 G. As we already pointed out in Ref. [2], the optical trap induces a differential light shift between the atom pair state and the molecular state. This leads to a lightinduced shift of the FR center. For the experiments presented in the main text, we use a near-infrared laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm (single-mode operation) in three different trap settings. Therefore, the center of the FR needs to be determined for each trap setting. To determine B0 we perform radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy of the Feshbach molecules. For each trap setting, this is done in the following way: We prepare a nonresonant mixture of Li atoms in state Li|1〉 and K atoms in their second-to-lowest state K|2〉 several tens of mG below the approximate position of the resonance center. Here, we apply a strong 500-μs rf pulse at a variable frequency ν, several kHz below the unperturbed K|2〉→K|3〉 transition frequency ν0. This pulse drives Li|1〉-K|2〉 atom pairs into the Li|1〉K|3〉 dimer state. To determine the number of dimers associated, we subsequently dissociate the dimers into a Li|1〉 and a K|3〉 atom by a 300-μs magnetic field ramp to 154.8 G. By recording absorption images we then determine the populations N2 and N3 of the K spin states K|2〉 and K|3〉, respectively. 0 0.2 0.4

Observation of a strong atom-dimer attraction in a mass-imbalanced Fermi-Fermi mixture.

We investigate a mixture of ultracold fermionic K40 atoms and weakly bound Li6K40 dimers on the repulsive side of a heteronuclear atomic Feshbach resonance. By radio-frequency spectroscopy we demonstrate that the normally repulsive atom-dimer interaction is turned into a strong attraction. The phenomenon can be understood as a three-body effect in which two heavy K40 fermions exchange the light...

Supplemental Material: “Polaron-to-polaron transitions in the radio-frequency spectrum of a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas”

In this supplemental material, we discuss the calculation of the radio-frequency spectra arising from confinement-induced dimers and polarons in a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas. We determine the dimer binding energies, including both the tight axial confinement and the nonzero transverse confinement. We provide the probabilities for dimer-to-dimer transitions and the shape of the dimerto-scat...

Collective oscillations of an imbalanced Fermi gas: axial compression modes and polaron effective mass.

We investigate the low-lying compression modes of a unitary Fermi gas with imbalanced spin populations. For low polarization, the strong coupling between the two spin components leads to a hydrodynamic behavior of the cloud. For large population imbalance we observe a decoupling of the oscillations of the two spin components, giving access to the effective mass of the Fermi polaron, a quasipart...

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...

Spin transport in polaronic and superfluid Fermi gases

We present measurements of spin transport in ultracold gases of fermionic 6Li in a mixture of two spin states at a Feshbach resonance. In particular, we study the spin-dipole mode, where the two spin components are displaced from each other against a harmonic restoring force. We prepare a highly imbalanced, or polaronic, spin mixture with a spin-dipole excitation and we observe strong, unitarit...
