Many-Body Formation and Dissociation of a Dipolar Chain Crystal
arXiv:1403.7855 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/16/7/073041
Abstract
We propose an experimental scheme to effectively assemble chains of dipolar gases with an uniform length in a multi-layer system. The obtained dipolar chains can form a chain crystal with the system temperature easily controlled by the initial lattice potential and the external field strength during process. When the density of chains increases, we further observe a second order quantum phase transition for the chain crystal to be dissociated toward layers of 2D crystal, where the quantum fluctuation dominates the classical energy and the compressibility diverges at the phase boundary. Experimental implication of such dipolar chain crystal and its quantum phase transition is also discussed.
