Rashba自旋轨道耦合费米气体中的巡游手征铁磁性

Itinerant chiral ferromagnetism in a trapped Rashba spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas

Shang-Shun Zhang, Wu-Ming Liu, Han Pu

摘要:

巡游系统中铁磁相的产生是量子磁学中的一个突出问题。本文考虑了一种排斥性的两组分费米气体,它被限制在一个二维各向同性的谐振势中,并受到一个大的Rashba自旋轨道(SO)耦合,其单粒子色散可以通过调节SO耦合强度来调节.我们发现,SO耦合,相关效应和平均场排斥之间的相互作用导致铁磁和非磁性相之间的竞争。在中等相互作用强度下,铁磁相出现,这可以很好地用平均场Hartree-Fock理论描述;而在强相互作用强度下,由于超越平均场的量子关联效应,强关联的非磁性相是有利的。此外,该系统的铁磁相具有由Rashba自旋轨道耦合,其实验签名的手征电流密度进行了研究。

英文摘要:

How ferromagnetic phases emerge in itinerant systems is an outstanding problem in quantum magnetism. Here we consider a repulsive two-component Fermi gas confined in a two dimensional isotropic harmonic potential and subject to a large Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling, whose single-particle dispersion can be tailored by adjusting the SO coupling strength. We show that the interplay among SO coupling, correlation effects and mean-field repulsion leads to a competition between ferromagnetic and non-magnetic phases. At intermediate interaction strengths, ferromagnetic phase emerges which can be well described by the mean-field Hartree-Fock theory; whereas at strong interaction strengths, a strongly correlated non-magnetic phase is favored due to the beyond-mean-field quantum correlation effects. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic phase of this system possesses a chiral current density induced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, whose experimental signature is investigated.
