Radio-Frequency Spectroscopy and the Dimensional Crossover in Interacting Spin-Polarized Fermi Gases

Description
Summary:Low-dimensional ultracold gases are created in the laboratory by confining three-dimensional (3D) gases inside highly anisotropic trapping potentials. Such trap geometries not only provide access to simulating one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) physics, but also can be used to study how the system crosses over towards a 3D system in the limit of weak confinement. In this work, we study the signature in radio-frequency (RF) spectroscopy for both the 1D-to-3D and the 2D-to-3D crossovers, in spin-polarized Fermi gases. We solve the two-body scattering T-matrix in the presence of strong harmonic confinement and use it to evaluate the two-body bound state and the RF spectroscopy transfer rate in the high frequency limit, covering both the quasi-low-dimensional and 3D limits. We find that in order to understand the dimensional crossover for spin-polarized Fermi gases with p-wave interactions, one needs to take into account an emergent s-wave interaction.
