Frustration and time reversal symmetry breaking for Fermi and Bose-Fermi systems

The modulation of an optical lattice potential that breaks time-reversal symmetry enables the realization of complex tunneling amplitudes in the corresponding tight-binding model. For a superfluid Fermi gas in a triangular lattice potential with complex tunnelings the pairing function acquires a complex phase, so the frustrated magnetism of fermions can be realized.Bose-Fermi mixture of bosonic molecules and unbound fermions in the lattice shows also an interesting behavior. Due to boson-fermion coupling, the fermions become slaved by the bosons and the corresponding pairing function takes the complex phase determined by bosons. In the presence of bosons the Fermi system can reveal both gap and gapless superfluidity.

Self-localization of a small number of Bose particles in a superfluid Fermi system

We consider self-localization of a small number of Bose particles immersed in a large homogeneous superfluid mixture of fermions in three and one dimensional spaces. Bosons distort the density of surrounding fermions and create a potential well where they can form a bound state analogous to a small polaron state. In the three dimensional volume we observe the self-localization for repulsive interactions between bosons and fermions. In the one dimensional case bosons self-localize as well as for attractive interactions forming, together with a pair of fermions at the bottom of the Fermi sea, a vector soliton. We analyze also thermal effects and show that small non-zero temperature affects the pairing function of the Fermi-subsystem and has little influence on the self-localization phenomena.
