Three-body losses of repulsively interacting three-component fermionic atoms in optical lattices
Abstract
We investigate the effects of a repulsive three-body interaction on the Mott transition of the repulsively interacting three-component fermionic atoms in optical lattices by means of the self-energy functional approach. We find that the three-body repulsion hardly affects the qualitative features of the Mott transition, because the three-body repulsion does not compete with the two-body repulsions. When the three-body repulsion is extremely strong, the triple occupancy vanishes in the Fermi liquid state. This situation is equivalent to that caused by strong three-body losses. Our results imply that three-body losses have little influence on the Mott transitions in the repulsively interacting three-component fermionic atoms in optical lattices.
