Towards A Possible Charge-Kondo effect in Optical Lattices
arXiv:0811.1737 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/88/20008
Abstract
The Kondo effect underpins a large body of recent developments in the physics of - and -band compounds. Although its {\it charge} analog is a rarity in solids, the recent observations of the charge Kondo effect and the consequent rise in superconducting T encourage a search for other accessible systems. Motivated by the possibility of wilfully tuning the {\it sign} of the inter-electronic interaction in optical lattices, we study conditions for the elusive {\it charge Kondo liquid} (CKL) state to manifest. We propose that a combination of Feshbach resonances and sequentially controlled laser pulses may produce the CKL. We show that the CKL is {\it never} a stable ground state, appearing only when the ordered ground states are destabilized. Finally, we discuss interesting analogies with nuclear matter.
