Popis: |
We investigate the ground state properties of an ultracold atom system consisting of many-body polarons, quasiparticles formed by impurity atoms in optical lattices immersing in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We find the nearest-neighbor attractive interaction between polarons can give rise to rich physics that is peculiar to this system. In a relatively shallow optical lattice, the attractive interaction can drive the system being in a self-bound superfluid phase with its particle density distribution manifesting a self-concentrated structure. While in a relatively deep optical lattice, the attractive interaction can drive the system forming the Mott-insulator phase even though the global filling factor is not integer. Interestingly, in the Mott-insulator regime, the system can support a series of different Mott-insulators with their effective density manifesting a devil's staircase structure with respect to the strength of attractive interaction. Detailed estimation on relevant experimental parameters shows that these rich physics can be readily observed in current experimental setups. |
