Counterflow superfluidity of two-species ultracold atoms in a commensurate optical lattice.

In the Mott-insulator regime, two species of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice can exhibit the low-energy counterflow motion. We construct effective Hamiltonians for the three classes of the two-species (fermion-fermion, boson-boson, and boson-fermion-type) insulators and reveal the conditions w... View More
