摘要:

强相互作用费米子的传输控制着现代材料--从高$T_c$铜酸盐到双层石墨烯--还有核裂变、中子星的合并和早期宇宙的膨胀。在这里,我们观察到一个普遍的量子极限的扩散在均匀的,强相互作用的原子费米气体通过研究声音的传播和衰减通过耦合传输的动量和热量。在正常状态下,声扩散率${D}$随着温度$T$的降低而单调减小,这与弱相互作用费米液体的发散行为相反。当越过超流转变温度时,${D}$达到由普朗克常数${h}$和粒子质量${m}$的比值设定的普适值。这一发现的量子有限的声音扩散通知费米子运输理论,与相关的流体动力学流动的电子,中子和夸克。

英文摘要:

Transport of strongly interacting fermions governs modern materials -- from the high-$T_c$ cuprates to bilayer graphene --, but also nuclear fission, the merging of neutron stars and the expansion of the early universe. Here we observe a universal quantum limit of diffusivity in a homogeneous, strongly interacting Fermi gas of atoms by studying sound propagation and its attenuation via the coupled transport of momentum and heat. In the normal state, the sound diffusivity ${D}$ monotonically decreases upon lowering the temperature $T$, in contrast to the diverging behavior of weakly interacting Fermi liquids. As the superfluid transition temperature is crossed, ${D}$ attains a universal value set by the ratio of Planck's constant ${h}$ and the particle mass ${m}$. This finding of quantum limited sound diffusivity informs theories of fermion transport, with relevance for hydrodynamic flow of electrons, neutrons and quarks.
