Pairing and radio-frequency spectroscopy in two-dimensional Fermi gases

Quantum Gases 2012-08-07 v3

Abstract

We theoretically study the normal phase properties of strongly interacting two-component Fermi gases in two spatial dimensions. In the limit of weak attraction, we find that the gas can be described in terms of effective polarons. As the attraction between fermions increases, we find a crossover from a gas of non-interacting polarons to a pseudogap regime. We investigate how this crossover is manifested in the radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy. Our findings qualitatively explain the differences in the recent rf spectroscopy measurements of two-dimensional Fermi gases [Sommer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 045302 (2012) and Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 235302 (2012)].
