Universal Fermi gases in mixed dimensions

Understand

We investigate a two-species Fermi gas in which one species is confined in a two-dimensional plane (2D) or one-dimensional line (1D) while the other is free in the three-dimensional space (3D).

• We discuss the realization of such a system with the interspecies interaction tuned to resonance.
• When the mass ratio is in the range 0.0351<m_2D/m_3D<6.35 for the 2D-3D mixture or 0.00646<m_1D/m_3D<2.06 for the 1D-3D mixture, the resulting system is stable against the Efimov effect and has universal properties.
• We calculate key quantities in the many-body phase diagram.
