Do mixtures of bosonic and fermionic atoms adiabatically heat up in optical lattices?

Mixtures of bosonic and fermionic atoms in optical lattices provide a promising arena to study strongly correlated systems. In experiments realizing such mixtures in the quantum-degenerate regime the temperature is a key parameter. We investigate the intrinsic heating and cooling effects due to an entropy-preserving raising of the optical lattice, identify the generic behavior valid for a wide range of parameters, and discuss it quantitatively for the recent experiments with 87Rb and 40K atoms.

In the absence of a lattice, we treat the bosons in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov approximation, including the fermions in a self-consistent mean-field interaction. In the presence of the full three-dimensional lattice, we use a strong coupling expansion. We find the temperature of the mixture in the lattice to be always higher than for the pure bosonic case, shedding light onto a key point in the analysis of recent experiments.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
