Momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy of a spin-orbit coupled atomic Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance in harmonic traps
We theoretically investigate the momentum-resolved radio-frequency
spectroscopy of a harmonically trapped atomic Fermi gas near a Feshbach
resonance in the presence of equal Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling.
The system is qualitatively modeled as an ideal gas mixture of atoms and
molecules, in which the properties of molecules, such as the wavefunction,
binding energy and effective mass, are determined from the two-particle
solution of two-interacting atoms. We calculate separately the radio-frequency
response from atoms and molecules at finite temperatures by using the standard
Fermi golden rule, and take into account the effect of harmonic traps within
local density approximation. The total radio-frequency spectroscopy is
discussed, as functions of temperature and spin-orbit coupling strength. Our
results give a qualitative picture of radio-frequency spectroscopy of a
resonantly interacting spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas and can be directly tested
in atomic Fermi gases of K40 atoms at Shanxi University and of Li6 atoms at
MIT.Comment: 11 pages, 9 Figure
Two-channel model description of confinement-induced Feshbach molecules
Using a two-channel model, we investigate theoretically the binding energy of
confinement-induced Feshbach molecules in two- and one-dimensional ultracold
atomic systems, near a Feshbach resonance. We show that the two-channel
prediction will evidently deviate from the simple single-channel theory as the
width of Feshbach resonances decreases. For one-dimensional system, we perform
a full two-channel calculation, with the inclusion of bare interatomic
interactions in the open channel. Away from the resonance, we find a sizable
correction to the binding energy, if we neglect incorrectly the bare
interatomic interactions as in the previous work [Dickerscheid and Stoof, Phys.
Rev. A 72, 053625 (2005)]. We compare our theoretical results with existing
experimental data and present predictions for narrow Feshbach resonances that
could be tested in future experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
