Optimized Degenerate Bose–Fermi Mixture in Microgravity: DSMC Simulation of Sympathetic Cooling
-
Abstract
Applying the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method developed for the cold atom system, we explore the possibility of a high-efficiency sympathetic cooling process between 87Rb and 40K without gravitational force in an optical trap. The relation between the pre-cooling of Bosons and the sympathetic cooling efficiency is also studied. We find that the absence of gravitational force is beneficial to the process of sympathetic cooling. Furthermore, an inefficient pre-cooling process will in fact hamper the creation of Fermi degenerate gases. This suggests the advantages of sympathetic cooling in microgravity. -
