What is Emergence of atomic-density waves in a trapped Luther-Emery fermion gas about?

We present a novel and comprehensive microscopic study of Luther-Emery-paired phases in a strongly interacting atomic Fermi gas inside a parabolic trap and a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice. Our work is based on a lattice version of density-functional theory, which uses as reference system the 1D homogeneous Hubbard model. We test our approach for repulsive interactions against Quantum Monte Carlo data and show that, for sufficiently strong attractions, an atomic-density wave (ADW) in the central portion of the trap breaks the discrete translational symmetry of the underlying lattice. We demonstrate that the emergence of an ADW has a dramatic impact on experimental observables such as the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern and the momentum distribution.
