Phase diagram of the Fermi-Hubbard model with spin-dependent external potentials: A DMRG study

We investigate a one-dimensional two-component system in an optical lattice of attractive interactions under a spin- dependent external potential. Based on the density-matrix renormalization group methods, we obtain its phase diagram as a function of the external potential imbalance and the strength of the attractive interaction through the analysis on the density profiles and the momentum pair correlation functions. We find that there are three different phases in the system, a coexisted fully polarized and Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov （FFLO） phase, a normal polarized phase, and a Bardeen- Cooper-Schrieffer （BCS） phase. Different from the systems of spin-independent external potential, where the FFLO phase is normally favored by the attractive interactions, in the present situation, the FFLO phases are easily destroyed by the attractive interactions, leading to the normal polarized or the BCS phase.

利用Lanczos算法研究一维光晶格Fermi气体

研究了零温下一维光晶格Fermi气体随外加磁场和自旋轨道耦合(SOC)相互作用的变化特征。基于Fermi-Hubbard模型,采用Lanczos部分迭代法研究计算具有自旋轨道耦合(SOC)的一维费米链体系的基态波函数与基态能量,进一步得到超导配对序参量和磁化率的结果。计算结果表明,Lanczos迭代法在求解一维光晶格体系是收敛和有效的,外加磁场和SOC作用对BCS单重态的超导配对均具有抑制作用。另外在合适的磁场和SOC共同作用下存在Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov(FFLO)相与BCS-FFLO混合相。通过与其他研究者的结果比较,体系特殊的相分布情况和非连续性相转变特征与较小的格点数可能相关。该结论对实验上探测BCS-FFLO混合相也具有指导意义。
