Quantum Dynamics of Attractive and Repulsive Polarons in a Doped Monolayer
Physical Review X, 2023•APS
When mobile impurities are introduced and coupled to a Fermi sea, new quasiparticles
known as Fermi polarons are formed. There are two interesting, yet drastically different
regimes of the Fermi polaron problem:(i) the attractive polaron (AP) branch connected to
pairing phenomena spanning the crossover from BCS superfluidity to the Bose-Einstein
condensation of molecules and (ii) the repulsive branch (RP), which underlies the physics
responsible for Stoner's itinerant ferromagnetism. Here, we study Fermi polarons in two …

When mobile impurities are introduced and coupled to a Fermi sea, new quasiparticles known as Fermi polarons are formed. There are two interesting, yet drastically different regimes of the Fermi polaron problem: (i) the attractive polaron (AP) branch connected to pairing phenomena spanning the crossover from BCS superfluidity to the Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules and (ii) the repulsive branch (RP), which underlies the physics responsible for Stoner’s itinerant ferromagnetism. Here, we study Fermi polarons in two-dimensional systems, where many questions and debates regarding their nature persist. The model system we investigate is a doped monolayer. We find the observed AP-RP energy splitting and the quantum dynamics of attractive polarons agree with the predictions of polaron theory. As the doping density increases, the quantum dephasing of the attractive polarons remains constant, indicative of stable quasiparticles, while the repulsive polaron dephasing rate increases nearly quadratically. The dynamics of Fermi polarons are of critical importance for understanding the pairing and magnetic instabilities that lead to the formation of rich quantum phases found in a wide range of physical systems including nuclei, cold atomic gases, and solids.
