Polarons in Alkaline-earth-like Atoms with Multi Background Fermi Surfaces

Original · EN

We study the impurity problem in a Fermi gas of ¹⁷³Yb atoms near an orbital Feshbach resonance, where a single moving particle in the ³P₀ state interacting with two background Fermi seas of particles in different nuclear states of the ground ¹S₀ manifold. By employing wave function ansatzs for molecule and polaron states, we investigate various properties of the molecule, the attractive polaron, and the repulsive polaron states. We find that in comparison to the case of only one Fermi sea is populated, the presence of an additional Fermi sea acts as an energy shift between the two channels of the orbital Feshbach resonance. Besides, the fluctuation around the Fermi level would also bring sizable effects to the attractive and repulsive polaron states.
