Transport phenomena in dilute quantum gases

输运测量是了解物质性质的一个重要手段.本文简单介绍最近在量子气体中实现的输运实验及其主要结论,包括在类似于介观物理器件中的Landauer输运和强相互作用费米气体中的自旋输运行为.我们着重讨论自旋动力学的特殊性以及其由于全同粒子相互作用所导致的特殊自旋扩散流的形式.

Transport measurement is one of the most important ways to study the properties of matter.In this article,we discuss recent experiments in ultracold atomic gases where the analog of Landauer transport in mesoscopic devices is realized and spin dynamics in a strongly interacting Fermi gas is probed.In the latter case,we pay special attention to the peculiarity of spin dynamics due to identical spin rotation effect which leads to a novel form of spin diffusion current.This modifies the usual diffusion equation into a more complicated form and leads to important consequence for,in particular,transverse spin diffusion in ultracold Fermi gases.
