Mixtures of dipolar gases in two dimensions: a quantum Monte Carlo study

We studied the miscibility of two dipolar quantum gases in the limit of zero temperature. The system under study is composed by a mixture of two Bose gases with dominant dipolar interaction in a two-dimensional harmonic confinement. The dipolar moments are considered all to be perpendicular to the plane, turning the dipolar potential in a purely repulsive and isotropic model. Our analysis is carried out by using the diffusion Monte Carlo method which allows for an exact solution to the many-body problem within some statistical noise. Our results show that the miscibility between the two species is rather constrained as a function of the relative dipolar moments and masses of the two components. A narrow regime is predicted where both species mix and we introduce an adimensional parameter whose value predicts quite accurately the miscibility of the two dipolar gases.
