We consider the behavior of an ultracold Fermi gas across a narrow Feshbach resonance, where the occupation of the closed channel may not be negligible. While the corrections to the single-channel formulae associated with the nonzero…
We consider a possibility to describe the Feshbach resonance in terms of the Boson Fermion (BF) model. Using such model we show that after a gradual disentangling of the boson from fermion subsystem the resonant type scattering between…

Interactions between particles normally induce the decay of the particles Bloch oscillations (BOs) in a periodic lattice. In the limit of strong on-site interactions, spin-$1/2$ fermions may form doublon bound states and undergo BOs in the…
