EFFECT OF DISORDER ON THE INTERACTING FERMI GASES IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL OPTICAL LATTICE
EFFECT OF DISORDER ON THE INTERACTING FERMI GASES IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL OPTICAL LATTICE
Interacting two-component Fermi gases loaded in a one-dimensional (1D) lattice and subjected to a harmonic trapping potential exhibit interesting compound phases in which fluid regions coexist with local Mott-insulator and/or band-insulator regions. Motivated by experiments on cold atoms inside disordered optical lattices, we present a theoretical study of the effects …
