备注

采用密度矩阵重整化群(density-matrix-renormalization-group, DMRG)方法,研究梯状光晶格中排斥相互作用费米气体的基态属性.研究表明,Zeeman场能够激发系统的相分离(完全极化相和部分极化相),而自旋轨道耦合效应能抑制相分离,使整个晶格处于部分极化相,在不同的强弱排斥相互作用系统中,极化率会随自旋轨道耦合改变表现出不同的变化规律.

The density-matrix-renormalization-group(DMRG)method is used to numerically calculate the ground state of repulsively interacting Fermi atoms loaded in optical ladder lattices. It is found that the system exhibits the spatial separation of a fully spin-polarized phase from the partially polarized phase for the suitable intensity of Zeeman field without the effect of spin-orbit coupled atoms. The spin-orbit coupling drives the fully spin-polarized phase to the partially spin-polarized phase in the whole system. The spin polarizations of weak and strong repulsively interacting systems vary differently with spin-orbit interaction strength.
