Commensurate mixtures of ultra-cold atoms in one dimension

Other Condensed Matter 2013-05-29 v4

Abstract

We study binary mixtures of ultra-cold atoms, confined to one dimension in an optical lattice, with commensurate densities. Within a Luttinger liquid description, which treats various mixtures on equal footing, we derive a system of renormalization group equations at second order, from which we determine the rich phase diagrams of these mixtures. These phases include charge/spin density wave order, singlet and triplet pairing, polaron pairing, and a supersolid phase. Various methods to detect our results experimentally are discussed.
