Effective-range dependence of two-dimensional Fermi gases

Abstract

The Feshbach resonance provides precise control over the scattering length and effective range of interactions between ultracold atoms. We propose the ultratransferable pseudopotential to model effective interaction ranges -1.5≤kF2Reff2≤0, where Reff is the effective range and kF is the Fermi wave vector, describing narrow to broad Feshbach resonances. We develop a mean-field treatment and exploit the pseudopotential to perform a variational and diffusion Monte Carlo study of the ground state of the two-dimensional Fermi gas, reporting on the ground-state energy, contact, condensate fraction, momentum distribution, and pair-correlation functions as a function of the effective interaction range across the BEC-BCS crossover. The limit kF2Reff2→- is a gas of bosons with zero binding energy, whereas ln(kFa)→- corresponds to noninteracting bosons with infinite binding energy.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the EPSRC Grant no.
