Small mass- and trap-imbalanced two-component Fermi systems
arXiv:0803.4221 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.78.013613
Abstract
Motivated by the prospect of optical lattice experiments with two-component Fermi gases consisting of different atomic species such as Li and K, we calculate the energies for N fermions under harmonic confinement as a function of the mass- and trap-imbalance, i.e., as a function of the ratio between the masses and frequencies of species one and two, using microscopic approaches. Our energies for N=2 through 6 can be used to determine the energetically most favorable configuration for a given number of atoms per species of a deep lattice in which each lattice site is approximately harmonic and in which tunneling between neighboring sites can be neglected. Furthermore, our energies determine one of the input parameters, namely the onsite interaction strength, of the corresponding lattice Hamiltonian. We also determine and interpret the excitation gap for unequal-mass systems with up to N=13 atoms for equal oscillator lengths.
