Fermion Pairing across a Dipolar Interaction Induced Resonance

It is known from the solution of the two-body problem that an anisotropic dipolar interaction can give rise to s-wave scattering resonances, which are named as dipolar interaction induced resonaces (DIIR). In this letter, we study zero-temperature many-body physics of a two-component Fermi gas across a DIIR. In the low-density regime, it is very striking that the resulting pairing order parameter is a nearly isotropic singlet pairing and the physics can be well described by an s-wave resonant interaction potential with finite range corrections, despite of the anisotropic nature of dipolar interaction. The pairing energy is as strong as a unitary Fermi gas nearby a magnetic Feshbach resonance. In the high density regime, the anisotropic effect plays an important role. We find phase transitions from singlet pairing to a state with mixed singlet and triplet pairing, and then from mixed pairing to pure triplet pairing. The state with mixed pairing spontaneously breaks the time-reversal symmetry.Comment: 4.5 pages, 4 figures, figures updated, minor changes in tex

Magnetic polarization induced by nonmagnetic impurities in high Tc cuprates

The magnetic polarization induced by nonmagnetic impurities such as Zn in high Tc cuprate compounds is studied by the variational Monte Carlo simulation. The variational wave function is constructed from the eigenstates obtained from Bogoliubov de Gennes mean field Hamiltonian for the two-dimensional t-J model. A Jastrow factor is introduced to account for the induced magnetic moment and the repulsion between holes and the impurity. A substantial energy gain is obtained by forming an antiferromagnetic polarization covering 4 or 5 lattice sites around the impurity. We also found the doping dependence for the induced magnetic moment consistent with experiments.Comment: 14(text) + 5(figure) pages. To appear in Phys. Rev.

Phase sensitive two mode squeezing and photon correlations from exciton superfluid

There have been experimental and theoretical studies on Photoluminescence (PL) from possible exciton superfluid in semiconductor electron-hole bilayer systems. However, the PL contains no phase information and no photon correlations, so it can only lead to suggestive evidences. It is important to identify smoking gun experiments which can lead to convincing evidences. Here we study two mode phase sensitive squeezing spectrum and also two photon correlation functions. We find the emitted photons along all tilted directions are always in a two mode squeezed state between $\vec{k}$ and $- \vec{k}$. There are always two photon bunching, the photon statistics is super-Poissonian. Observing these unique features by possible future phase sensitive homodyne experiment and HanburyBrown-Twiss type of experiment could lead to conclusive evidences of exciton superfluid in these systems.Comment: 5 pages, 4 color figures, REVTEX 4, Final version to appear in Phys.
