Abstract

We investigate magnetic properties and statistical effects in 1D strongly repulsive two-component fermions and in a 1D mixture of strongly repulsive polarized fermions and bosons. Universality in the characteristics of phase transitions, magnetization and susceptibility in the presence of an external magnetic field HH are analyzed from the exact thermodynamic Bethe ansatz solution. We show explicitly that polarized fermions with a repulsive interaction have antiferromagnetic behavior at zero temperature. A universality class of linear field-dependent magnetization persists for weak and finite strong interaction. The system is fully polarized when the external field exceeds the critical value HcF8γEFH^F_c\approx \frac{8}{\gamma}E_F, where EFE_F is the Fermi energy and γ\gamma is the dimensionless interaction strength. In contrast, the mixture of polarized fermions and bosons in an external field exhibits square-root field-dependent magnetization in the vicinities of H=0 and the critical value H=HcM16γEFH=H^M_c\approx \frac{16}{\gamma}E_F. We find that a pure boson phase occurs in the absence of the external field, fully-polarized fermions and bosons coexist for 0<H<HcM0<H<H^M_c, and a fully-polarized fermion phase occurs for HHcMH\ge H_c^M. This phase diagram for the Bose-Fermi mixture is reminiscent of weakly attractive fermions with population imbalance, where the interacting fermions with opposite spins form singlet pairs.
