摘要:

哈伯德模型,只包含最小成分的最近邻跳跃和现场相互作用的相关电子,已成功地占不同的现象观察到的固态材料。其中一个有趣的扩展是将其自旋对称性扩大到SU(N>2),这与具有轨道简并的系统密切相关。本文报道了在三维光晶格中用镱(173 Yb)原子费米气体成功地形成SU(6)对称莫特绝缘体态。除了可压缩性的抑制和电荷激发能隙的存在表征Mott绝缘相,我们揭示了SU(6)和SU(2)的情况下,在可实现的温度的一个重要差异的结果,不同的熵进行一个孤立的自旋。这类似于固体~ 3 He中的Pomeranchuk冷却,将有助于研究极低温下SU(N)Hubbard系统的奇异量子相.

英文摘要:

The Hubbard model, containing only the minimum ingredients of nearest neighbor hopping and on-site interaction for correlated electrons, has succeeded in accounting for diverse phenomena observed in solid-state materials. One of the interesting extensions is to enlarge its spin symmetry to SU(N>2), which is closely related to systems with orbital degeneracy. Here we report a successful formation of the SU(6) symmetric Mott insulator state with an atomic Fermi gas of ytterbium (173Yb) in a three-dimensional optical lattice. Besides the suppression of compressibility and the existence of charge excitation gap which characterize a Mott insulating phase, we reveal an important difference between the cases of SU(6) and SU(2) in the achievable temperature as the consequence of different entropy carried by an isolated spin. This is analogous to Pomeranchuk cooling in solid 3He and will be helpful for investigating exotic quantum phases of SU(N) Hubbard system at extremely low temperatures.
