Clock shift in a strongly interacting two-dimensional Fermi gas

Quantum Gases 2015-06-03 v2

Abstract

We derive universal relations for the radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy of a two-dimensional Fermi gas consisting of two spin states with a resonant S-wave interaction. The rf transition rate has a high-frequency tail that is proportional to the contact and displays logarithmic scaling violations, decreasing asymptotically like 1/(ω2ln2ω)1/(\omega^2 \ln^2 \omega). Its coefficient is proportional to ln2(a2D/a2D)\ln^2(a_{2D}'/a_{2D}), where a2Da_{2D} and a2Da_{2D}' are the 2-dimensional scattering lengths associated with initial-state and final-state interactions. The clock shift is proportional to the contact and to ln(a2D/a2D)\ln(a_{2D}'/a_{2D}). If ln(a2D/a2D)1|\ln(a_{2D}'/a_{2D})| \gg 1, the clock shift arises as a cancellation between much larger contributions proportional to ln2(a2D/a2D)\ln^2(a_{2D}'/a_{2D}) from bound-bound and bound-free rf transitions.
