Spin interaction with an ideal Fermi gas

We consider the equilibrium dynamics of a system consisting of a spin interacting with an ideal Fermi gas on the lattice , 3. We present two examples: when this system is unitarily equivalent to an ideal Fermi gas or to a spin in an ideal Fermi gas without interaction between them.     

Reduction Formula for Fermion Loops and Density Correlations of the 1D Fermi Gas

Fermion N-loops with an arbitrary number of density vertices N>d+1 in d spatial dimensions can be expressed as a linear combination of (d+1)-loops with coefficients that are rational functions of external momentum and energy variables. A theorem on symmetrized products then implies that divergences of single loops for low energy and small momenta cancel each other when loops with permuted external variables are summed. We apply these results to the one-dimensional Fermi gas, where an explicit formula for arbitrary N-loops can be derived. The symmetrized N-loop, which describes the dynamical N-point density correlations of the 1D Fermi gas, does not diverge for low energies and small momenta. We derive the precise scaling behavior of the symmetrized N-loop in various important infrared limits.     

Quasiparticle Spectrum of Quantum Degenerate Fermi Gas in the Presence of Self-Consistent Magnetization Field

In this paper, we develop a systematic and simple method to derive quasiparticle spectrum of the quantum degenerate Fermi gases within the framework of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory which turns a general nonlinear twobody interaction Hamiltonian into a bilinear Hamiltonian by introducing certain self-consistent mean fields. Applying the approach, we obtain the quasi-particle spectrum of the model describing the superfluid phase transition that arises when a Feshbach resonance pairing occurs in adiute Fermi gas in the presence of the magnetization fields m =U∑k and mk=U∑k.When the gap parameter △ is smaller than one or both of the magnetization fields, the spectrum manifests roton-type structure dramatically different from the spectrum in the absence of the magnetization fields.     

Perturbation theory of the Fermi surface in a quantum liquid. A general quasiparticle formalism and one-dimensional systems

We develop a perturbation theory formalism for the theory of the Fermi surface in a Fermi liquid of particles interacting via a bounded short-range repulsive pair potential. The formalism is based on the renormalization group and provides a formal expansion of the large-distance Schwinger functions in terms of a family of running couplings consisting of one- and two-body quasiparticle potentials. The flow of the running couplings is described in terms of a beta function, which is studied to all orders of perturbation theory and shown to obey, in thenth order,n! bounds. The flow equations are written in general dimensiond1 for the spinless case (for simplicity). The picture that emerges is that on a large scale the system looks like a system of fermions interacting via a-like interaction potential (i.e., a potential approaching 0 everywhere except at the origin, where it diverges, although keeping the integral bounded); the theory is not asymptotically free in the usual sense and the freedom mechanism is thus more delicate than usual: the technical problem of dealing with unbounded effective potentials is solved by introducing a mathematically precise notion ofquasiparticles, which turn out to be natural objects with finite interaction even when the physical potential diverges as a deltalike function. A remarkable kind of gauge symmetry is associated with the quasiparticles. To substantiate the analogy with the quasiparticle theory we discuss the mean field theory using our notion of quasiparticles: the resulting self-consistency relations are closely reminiscent of those of the BCS model. The formalism seems suited for a joint theory of normal states of Fermi liquids and of BCS states: the first are associated with the trivial fixed point of our flow or with nearby nontrivial fixed points (or invariant sets) and the second may naturally correspond to really nontrivial fixed points (which may nevertheless turn out to be accessible to analysis because the BCS state is a quasi free state, hence quite simple, unlike the nontrivial fixed points of field theory). Thed=1 case is deeply different from thed> 1 case, for our spinless fermions: we can treat it essentially completely for small coupling. The system is not asymptotically free and presents anomalous renormalization group flow with a vanishing beta function, and the discontinuity of the occupation number at the Fermi surface is smoothed by the interaction (remaining singular with a coupling-dependent singularity of power type with exponent identified with the anomalous dimension). Finally, we present a heuristic discussion of the theory for the flow of the running coupling constants in spinlessd> 1 systems: their structure is simplified further and the relevant part of the running interaction is precisely the interaction between pairs of quasiparticles which we identify with the Cooper pairs of superconductivity. The formal perturbation theory seems to have a chance to work only if the interaction between the Cooper pairs is repulsive: and to second order we show that in the spin-0 case this happens if the physical potential is repulsive. Our results indicate the possibility of the existence of a normal Fermi surface only if the interaction is repulsive.     

Many-body theories of density response for a strongly correlated Fermi gas

Recent breakthroughs in the creation of ultracold atomic gases in the laboratory have ushered in major changes in physical science. Many novel experiments are now possible, with an unprecedented control of interaction, geometry and purity. Quantum many-body theory is facing severe challenges in quantitatively understanding new experimental results. Here, we review some recently developed theoretical techniques that provide successful predictions for density response of a strongly correlated atomic Fermi gas. These include the strong-coupling random-phase approximation theory, hightemperature quantum virial expansion, and asymptotically exact Tan relations applicable at large momentum.     

Energy Spectrum of a Degenerate Fermi Gas at the BEC-BCS Crossover

A theoretical study of the BCS-BEC crossover is presented. Starting from a two-channel Boson-Fermion resonance model, the BCS-Bogoiubov mean-field method and the Green＇s function method are adopted. The result shows that we can end up with a BCS-type theory but with a composite order parameter. Calculation shows that the Bose condensate of BCS Cooper pairs is proportional to the molecular BEC of Bose molecules. The resonance superfluid phase is indicated by the energy spectrum with an obvious interpretation of the transition mechanism.     

Study on the Fermi surface and the spin-dependent momentum space density of ferromagnetic Gd by positron annihilation experiments

The Fermi surface (FS) and spin-dependent momentum space density distribution of ferromagnetic Gd was studied via longitudinally polarised positrons. The measurements were performed using a 2D angular correlation of the annihilation radiation experiments with the reversal magnetic field direction parallel and anti-parallel to the polarisation direction of the positron. It was found that the minority-spin states were concentrated in the basal plane and majority-spin states were concentrated around the A, L and H points. The analysis confirmed that the main contributions to the FS of Gd were influenced by the mixing of both the 5d–6s and the 4f–5d hybrid bands. The general layout of this FS was observed as two hole-like surfaces running along the [ΓA] axis and one electron-like surface running along the [MK] direction. In general, the experimental results showed good agreement with earlier investigations.

Spin Waves in a Semi-Infinite Heisenberg Ferromagnet with Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy

A Green function formalism is employed to investigate the effect of magnetocrystalline anisotropy on surface spin waves in semi-infinite Heisenberg ferromagnets at low temperatures T << T_c. The dispersion relations are investigated in detail. The density of states (DOS) of surface spin waves and layered magnetizations are also derived.     

Superfluidity of a dipolar Fermi gas in 2D optical lattices bilayer

Ultracold Fermi molecules lying in 2D square optical lattices bilayers with its dipole moment perpendicularly aligned to the layers, having interlayer finite range s‐wave interactions, are shown to form superfluid phases, both, in the Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) regime of Cooper pairs, and in the condensate regime of bound dimeric molecules. We demonstrate this result using a functional integral scheme within the Ginzburg‐Landau theory. For the deep Berezinskii‐Kosterlitz‐Thouless (BKT) phase transition, we predict critical temperatures around 5nK and 20nK for ²³Na⁴⁰K and OH molecules, which are within reach of current experiments [J. W. Park, S. Will and M. Zwierlein, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 , 205302 (2015)].

Three‐Phonon and Four‐Phonon Interaction Processes in a Pair‐Condensed Fermi Gas

We study the interactions among phonons and the phonon lifetime in a pair‐condensed Fermi gas in the BEC‐BCS crossover in the collisionless regime. To compute the phonon‐phonon coupling amplitudes we use a microscopic model based on a generalized BCS Ansatz including moving pairs, which allows for a systematic expansion around the mean field BCS approximation of the ground state. We show that the quantum hydrodynamic expression of the amplitudes obtained by Landau and Khalatnikov apply only on the energy shell, that is for resonant processes that conserve energy. The microscopic model yields the same excitation spectrum as the Random Phase Approximation, with a linear (phononic) start and a concavity at low wave number that changes from upwards to downwards in the BEC‐BCS crossover. When the concavity of the dispersion relation is upwards at low wave number, the leading damping mechanism at low temperature is the Beliaev‐Landau process 2 phonons ? 1 phonon while, when the concavity is downwards, it is the Landau‐Khalatnikov process 2 phonons ? 2 phonons. In both cases, by rescaling the wave vectors to absorb the dependence on the interaction strength, we obtain a universal formula for the damping rate. This universal formula corrects and extends the original analytic results of Landau and Khalatnikov [ZhETF 19 , 637 (1949)] for the 2?2 processes in the downward concavity case. In the upward concavity case, for the Beliaev 1? 2 process for the unitary gas at zero temperature, we calculate the damping rate of an excitation with wave number q including the first correction proportional to q ⁷ to the q ⁵ hydrodynamic prediction, which was never done before in a systematic way.     

The semiclassical limit of a quantum Fermi accelerator

A classical Fermi accelerator model (FAM) is known to show chaotic behavior. The FAM is defined by a free particle bouncing elastically from two rigid walls, one fixed and the other oscillating periodically in time. The central aim of this paper is to connect the quantum and the classical solutions to the FAM in the semiclassical limit. This goal is accomplished using a finite inverted parametric oscillator (FIPO), confined to a box withfixed walls, as an alternative representation of the FAM. In the FIPO representation, an explicit correspondence between classical and quantum limits is accomplished using a Husimi representation of the quasienergy eigenfunctions.     

p‐Wave Superfluid Phases of Fermi Molecules in a Bilayer Lattice Array

The superfluid $\mathbf{p}=p_x+{\mathit{ip}}_y$ phases in an ultracold gas of dipolar Fermi molecules lying in two parallel square lattices in 2D are investigated. As shown by a two‐body study, dipole moments oriented in opposite directions in each layer are the key ingredients in our mean‐field analysis from which unconventional superfluidity is predicted. The $T=0$ phase diagram summarizes our findings: stable and metastable superfluid phases appear as a function of both, the dipole–dipole interaction coupling parameter and filling factor. A first‐order phase transition, and thus a mixture of superfluid phases at different densities, is revealed from the coexistence curves in the metastable region. The model predicts that these superfluid phases can be observed experimentally at 10 nK in molecules of NaK confined in optical lattices of size $a=532$ nm. Other routes to reach higher temperatures require the use of subwavelength confinement technique .     

Strongly correlated Fermi systems as a new state of matter

The aim of this review paper is to expose a new state of matter exhibited by strongly correlated Fermi systems represented by various heavy-fermion (HF) metals, two-dimensional liquids like ³He, compounds with quantum spin liquids, quasicrystals, and systems with one-dimensional quantum spin liquid. We name these various systems HF compounds, since they exhibit the behavior typical of HF metals. In HF compounds at zero temperature the unique phase transition, dubbed throughout as the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) can occur; this FCQPT creates flat bands which in turn lead to the specific state, known as the fermion condensate. Unlimited increase of the effective mass of quasiparticles signifies FCQPT; these quasiparticles determine the thermodynamic, transport and relaxation properties of HF compounds. Our discussion of numerous salient experimental data within the framework of FCQPT resolves the mystery of the new state of matter. Thus, FCQPT and the fermion condensation can be considered as the universal reason for the non-Fermi liquid behavior observed in various HF compounds. We show analytically and using arguments based completely on the experimental grounds that these systems exhibit universal scaling behavior of their thermodynamic, transport and relaxation properties. Therefore, the quantum physics of different HF compounds is universal, and emerges regardless of the microscopic structure of the compounds. This uniform behavior allows us to view it as the main characteristic of a new state of matter exhibited by HF compounds.
