Abstract
Ultracold atomic Fermi gases present an opportunity to study strongly interacting fermionic systems in a controlled and uncomplicated setting. The ability to tune attractive interactions has led to the discovery of superfluidity in these systems with an extremely high transition temperature with respect to the Fermi temperature1,2 near T/TF=0.2. This superfluidity is the electrically neutral analogue of superconductivity; however, superfluidity in atomic Fermi gases occurs in the limit of strong interactions and defies a conventional BardeenâCooperâSchrieffer (BCS) description. For these strong interactions, it is predicted that the onset of pairing and superfluidity can occur at different temperatures3,4,5. Thus, for a range of temperatures, a pseudogap region may exist, in which the system retains some of the characteristics of the superfluid phaseâsuch as a BCS-like dispersion and a partially gapped density of statesâbut does not exhibit superfluidity. By making two independent measurementsâthe direct observation of pair condensation in momentum space and a measurement of the single-particle spectral function using an analogue to photoemission spectroscopy6âwe directly probe the pseudogap phase. Our measurements reveal a BCS-like dispersion with back-bending near the Fermi wavevector kF, which persists well above the transition temperature for pair condensation.

In conventional superconductors, fermion pairs and superconductivity appear simultaneously at Tc. The single-particle, or fermionic, excitation spectrum of a conventional superconductor follows a BCS dispersion given by
where εk=â2k2/2âm, â=h/2Ï and h is Planckâs constant, k is the fermion wavevector, m is the fermion mass, μ is the chemical potential and Î is the superfluid order parameter. The lower branch of the dispersion (minus sign in equation (1)), which is the occupied one at low temperature, has a positive slope at low momentum and then turns around and has a negative slope at high momentum. This âback bendingâ behaviour arises because of the excitation gap and is a characteristic signature of superconductivity. In unconventional superconductors, such as high-Tc superconductors, this back-bending in the dispersion has been observed both below7 and, remarkably, above Tc (ref. 8). The observation of back-bending above Tc represents a pronounced departure from conventional BCS theory, which predicts that the normal state above Tc is a Fermi liquid with a monotonically increasing single-branch dispersion and a density of states that is smooth through the Fermi surface. The departure from a conventional BCS description above Tc in the form of a gapped excitation spectra is the essence of the pseudogap.
A satisfactory explanation of the origin and nature of the observed pseudogap phase in high-Tc superconductors has remained elusive because of the complexity of the materials. In contrast, ultracold atomic gases are relatively free of complexity, for example, having no underlying lattice structure, impurities or domain boundaries. Moreover, the interactions responsible for pairing and superfluidity in ultracold atom gases are well understood at the few-body level. As a result, these systems are ideally suited for investigating the prediction of a pseudogap phase resulting from pre-formed pairs. There is much scientific literature on the topic of the pseudogap in strongly interacting atom gases with wide-ranging viewpoints and conclusions3,4,5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17, including a recent article that predicts no pseudogap phase at all18. In some theories, the pseudogap phase is predicted to have a BCS-like dispersion (equation (1)), but where Î is no longer the superfluid order parameter but instead corresponds to an excitation gap resulting from the formation of incoherent pairs3,5,11,12,13,14,15,16,17. However, for the atomic gases, there is not yet experimental data to establish the existence of a pseudogap phase and confirm its properties. Radiofrequency spectroscopy experiments that probe excitations have been carried out above and below the critical temperature19,20, but their interpretation relies on assuming a specific dispersion relation and therefore they cannot be used to distinguish between a pseudogap and a normal phase13,18.
The question is then, do we have the necessary measurement tools to look for pseudogap physics in the neutral atom gas system? To probe the defining properties of a pseudogap regime one needs both a measurement of the transition temperature as well as a probe of the single-particle excitation spectra. In the atomic gas system, the onset of the superfluid phase is clearly detected through the observation of momentum-space condensation of atom pairs21. To probe the single-particle excitation spectra, we use a technique (recently developed for atoms) that uses momentum-resolved radiofrequency spectroscopy to realize an analogue of photoemission spectroscopy6. Using these two measurementsâthe direct observation of pair condensation to determine Tc and momentum-resolved radiofrequency spectroscopy to probe the pairing gapâwe can now explore the issue of the pseudogap in atomic systems. In this letter, we report that a BCS-like dispersion, with back-bending near kF, indeed persists even for temperatures substantially above the measured critical temperature for superfluidity. For the atomic gas system, which is clean and simple in comparison with high-Tc materials, this result provides evidence of a pseudogap region where incoherent pairs of correlated fermions exist above Tc.
To carry out these experiments, we cool a gas of fermionic 40K atoms to quantum degeneracy in a far-detuned optical dipole trap as described in previous work6. We obtain a 50/50 mixture of atoms in two spin states, namely the |f,mfã=|9/2,â9/2ã and |9/2,â7/2ã states, where f is the total atomic spin and mf is the projection along the magnetic-field axis. Our final stage of evaporation occurs at a magnetic field of 203.5âG, where the s-wave scattering length that characterizes the interactions between atoms in the |9/2,â9/2ã and |9/2,â7/2ã states is approximately 800 a0, where a0 is the Bohr radius. At the end of the evaporation we increase the interactions adiabatically with a slow magnetic-field ramp to a Feshbach scattering resonance.
To vary the temperature of the atom cloud, we either truncate the evaporation or parametrically heat the cloud by modulating the optical dipole trap strength at twice the trapping frequency. To determine the temperature of the Fermi gas we expand the weakly interacting gas and fit the momentum distribution to the expected two-dimensional distribution1 and extract (T/TF)0, where the subscript zero indicates a measurement made in the weakly interacting regime, before ramping the magnetic field to the Feshbach resonance. For the data presented here, we obtain clouds at final temperatures ranging from (T/TF)0=0.12 to 0.43 with N=1Ã105â1.8Ã105 atoms per spin state. The trap frequencies vary depending on the final intensity of the optical trap and range from 180 to 320âHz in the radial direction and 18 to 27âHz in the axial direction. Correspondingly, the Fermi energy, EF, ranges from h·8âkHz to h·13âkHz, where h is Planckâs constant. The Fermi energy is obtained from N and the geometric mean trap frequency, ν, as EF=h ν(6N)1/3. We define the Fermi wavevector as and the Fermi temperature as TF=EF/kB, where kB is the Boltzmann constant. It is important to note that the trapped gas has a spatially inhomogeneous density, and one can define a local Fermi energy, and corresponding local Fermi wavevector, that varies across the cloud.
Momentum-resolved radiofrequency spectroscopy realizes photoemission spectroscopy for strongly interacting atoms6,22, much like angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) for strongly correlated electron systems. In this spectroscopy, aradiofrequency photon flips the spin of an atom to a third hyperfine spin state and then the spin-flipped atoms are counted as a function of their momentum. As in ARPES (ref. 7), conservation of energy and momentum are used to extract the energy and momentum of the fermion (which in our case is an entire atom) in the strongly correlated system. A key feature of this measurement is that the spin-flipped atoms are âejectedâ from the system in the sense that they have only very weak interactions with the other atoms. This means that the spin-flipped atoms have the usual free-particle dispersion, and moreover, their momentum distribution can be measured using time-of-flight absorption imaging with no significant effects of interactions or collisions on the ballistic expansion. This technique was recently applied to a gas just below Tc and revealed a BCS-like back-bending dispersion characteristic of an excitation gap6.
To carry out the photoemission experiments on atoms, we turn on a short radiofrequency pulse to transfer atoms from the |9/2,â7/2ã state to the unoccupied and weakly interacting |9/2,â5/2ã state. We then immediately turn off the trap and state-selectively image the out-coupled atoms on a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera after time-of-flight expansion. The radiofrequency pulse is kept much shorter than a trap period to ensure that the momentum of the out-coupled atoms does not change. The length of the radiofrequency pulse limits our energy resolution to approximately 0.2EF. As described in our previous work, the intensity of atoms out-coupled as a function of momentum for each radiofrequency can be used to reconstruct the occupied single-particle states6. With this information, one can determine the occupied part of the Fermi spectral function and probe the energy dispersion. It is important to note that unlike ARPES experiments in condensed-matter physics, the value of the chemical potential is not determined in this experiment. Rather, in our plots zero energy corresponds to the energy of a non-interacting atom at rest.
We present our photoemission spectroscopy data studying the pseudogap of a strongly interacting Fermi gas in Figs 1 and 2. The dimensionless parameter that characterizes the interaction strength for this data is 1/kFa=0.15(3), where a is the s-wave scattering length. In Fig. 1, we plot the fraction of out-coupled atoms as a function of their single-particle energy and momentum for temperatures encompassing the pseudogap regime. In the intensity plots, the white dots indicate the centres derived from unweighted Gaussian fits to each of the energy distribution curves (EDCs) (vertical trace at a given wavevector). The energy dispersion mapped out with these fits (white dots) can be contrasted to the expected free-particle dispersion for an ideal Fermi gas (black curve). In Fig. 2 we show the same data plotted as EDCs for wavevectors ranging from k/kF=0.1 to k/kF=1.45. To show the evolution of the spectral function from below Tc through the pseudogap regime the data are shown for four temperatures, (T/TF)0=0.13, 0.21, 0.25 and 0.35.
For the data below Tc (Fig. 1a), we see a smooth back-bending that occurs near k=kF. The white curve in Fig. 1a shows a BCS-like dispersion curve, equation (1), discussed above; here, we fit to the white dots for momenta in the range 0<k<1.4âkF. Although we cannot use this fit to extract the gap and chemical potential in a model-independent way because of the harmonic trapping confinement, the BCS-like fit is consistent with a large pairing gap, of the order of EF, as expected for a Fermi gas near the centre of the BCS to BoseâEinstein condensate (BEC) crossover1,2.
In all four of our data sets in Fig. 1, we observe a weak signal with a strong negative dispersion at high momenta. It has been recently pointed out that one expects universal behaviour at kâ«kF for a Fermi gas with short-range, or contact, interactions23, and, moreover, that this will give rise to a weak, negatively dispersing feature in the Fermi spectral function24. Recently, we have directly verified this universal behaviour with measurements of the momentum distribution and found empirically that the expected 1/k4 tail occurs for k>1.5kF (ref. 25). Therefore, we attribute the negative dispersion seen at large k to this universal behaviour for contact interactions. Although the strength of this feature should reflect the state of the system, the negative dispersion for k>1.5kF does not, by itself, provide evidence of a BCS-pairing gap24.
In the case of a pairing gap, we expect the spectral function to exhibit back-bending for k near kF. To avoid effects of the universal behaviour at large k, we consider the spectral function for k<1.5kF. For the three lowest temperatures, we observe a BCS-like dispersion with back-bending behaviour that occurs near k/kF=1. In fact, we observe no qualitative change from the data at T/Tc=0.76 to the data at T/Tc=1.24. We interpret this as evidence for the existence of a pseudogap regime above Tc comprising uncondensed pairs in the strongly interacting Fermi gas. At our highest temperatures, (T/TF)0=0.35, the centres of the Gaussian fits to the EDCs increase quadratically through the region near k/kF=1 and then jump discontinuously near k/kF=1.5. At the same point, the amplitudes of the fits also drop sharply (see inset to Fig. 3). Thus, we conclude that, as the occupation of the positively dispersing feature vanishes, the fits jump to a distinct, lower-energy feature in the spectral function. As discussed above, this lower-energy feature is consistent with the predicted effect of universal behaviour at large k on the spectral function24.
In general, for data taken at finite temperature but still in the pseudogap regime one might expect to see population in the excited branch of the BCS Bogoliubov dispersion (plus sign in equation (1)). Signal in this branch represents thermally populated excitations above the pairing gap. The data in the region of 1<k/kF<1.5 are suggestive of some occupation in this branch. However, the limited signal-to-noise ratio makes it difficult to identify the excited branch in our data. In addition, the inhomogeneous density of the trapped gas could make the observation of two distinct branches more difficult. To be conservative, we fit each of the EDCs to a single Gaussian, and we find this to be sufficient to identify back-bending. It will be a subject of further research to see whether the excited branch can be more clearly observed in a momentum-resolved atom photoemission measurement.
In Fig. 3, we directly contrast the dispersions obtained for temperatures T/Tc=0.76, 1.47 and 2.06, shown in black, red and green, respectively. We compare the experimental dispersions (circles) to a BCSâBEC crossover theory described in ref. 5. To compare to the experimental data, we fit theoretical EDCs to single Gaussians to extract the centres; the results are shown as lines in Fig. 3. The theory incorporates the trapping confinement as well as the energy resolution resulting from the finite radiofrequency pulse duration. The theory, which gives the expected kâ4 behaviour at high k for the momentum distribution, agrees qualitatively with the experimental data. Both experimental and theoretical dispersions show smooth BCS-like dispersions with back-bending near k=kF for temperatures up to T/Tc=1.47. For T/Tc=2.06, both the experiment and theory show a quadratic dispersion before the signal decays around k=1.5âkF, leaving a much weaker negatively dispersing feature as predicted for a normal gas with contact interactions. The disagreement between theory and experiment at T/Tc=0.76 can be attributed to a sharp variation of the order parameter for temperature close to Tc. This may suggest the theory predicts too high an order parameter just below Tc. In the inset of Fig. 3, we show the amplitudes of the Gaussian fits to the measured EDCs for each of the three temperatures.
With theoretical calculations for a homogeneous Fermi gas, we find that the strongly interacting gas with pre-formed pairs and a normal Fermi liquid have distinct spectral functions. Namely, the paired state shows a smooth avoided crossing (such as described by equation (1)) whereas the normal Fermi liquid exhibits a sharp crossing leading to a cusp or apparent discontinuity in the occupied part of the spectral function. The smooth behaviour in the measured dispersion at the three lower temperatures, and the sharp jump in the dispersion at large k for the highest temperature data, are consistent with this theoretical picture.
To determine Tc, we probe pair condensation in our atomic Fermi gas following the procedure introduced in ref. 21. This technique directly probes coherence and has been used to map out Tc as a function of temperature and interaction strength21. The fact that the Bose condensation of fermion pairs corresponds to a superfluid phase transition was demonstrated unambiguously with the observation of a vortex lattice in a rotated Fermi gas below Tc (ref. 26). In addition, the accuracy of the condensate fraction measurements has been investigated both theoretically27,28 and experimentally29. In Fig. 4, we show the measured pair condensate fraction as a function of the initial temperature of the Fermi gas. As an empirical definition of Tc, we use the temperature where the measured condensate fraction is 1%. The value of 1% is chosen because, when testing our fits with simulated data, we find that we cannot differentiate between a Bose distribution above Tc and one with a 1% condensate fraction. We find (Tc/TF)0=(0.17±0.02) at 1/kFa=0.15(3), and using this we report T/Tc for our photoemission spectroscopy data.
Contrasting the photoemission spectroscopy data with this direct measure of the temperature Tc below which the system has coherent pairs, we find that BCS-like back-bending persists well above Tc in what we identify to be the pseudogap phase. Above the superfluid transition temperature, these strongly interacting Fermi gases are clearly not described by a Fermi-liquid dispersion and the existence of many-body pairing well above Tc marks a significant departure from conventional BCS theory. It is intriguing to note that our measurements are qualitatively similar to ARPES results in high-Tc superconductors8, even though the atomic Fermi gas is a much simpler system that does not even have an underlying lattice structure. However, high-Tc materials and ultracold atom systems differ substantially and for example it may be important to consider that the atomic Fermi gas superfluids have a higher Tc/TF compared with high-Tc superconductors and are more clearly in the region of the BCSâBEC crossover.
Methods
Feshbach resonance location.
To create a strongly interacting gas we ramp the magnetic field after evaporation to a value of 202.1âG at an inverse ramp rate of 14âmsâGâ1. The data presented here are at the same magnetic field as previous âon resonanceâ results presented in Fig. 3b of ref. 6, where the value of a was based on a measurement of the resonance position in ref. 21. However, from a new measurement based on molecule binding energies determined from radiofrequency spectra, we find the resonance position to be B0=202.20(2)âG and width to be w=7.1(2)âG. With the new resonance parameters and B=202.1âG, we find that the characteristic dimensionless interaction parameter 1/kFa is 0.15(3). This corresponds to the region of the BCSâBEC crossover where the gas is extremely strongly interacting and the superfluid gap is expected to be of the order of EF. Note that in the absence of many-body physics, the two-body prediction of the molecule binding energy at 202.1âG is 480âHz, which is less than 0.05âEF.
Photoemission spectroscopy.
For the work presented here, we have improved the signal-to-noise ratio of the photoemission spectra by a factor of four compared with our previous measurement6. Previously, a limitation to the signal-to-noise was related to imaging the out-coupled |9/2,â5/2ã atoms, which lack a closed cycling transition for absorption imaging. Now, we transfer the out-coupled atoms to the |9/2,â9/2ã state with two radiofrequency Ï-pulses. As the number of atoms in the |9/2,â5/2ã state is relatively small, this requires that we first optically pump the atoms remaining in the |9/2,â7/2ã and |9/2,â9/2ã states to another hyperfine manifold. In this way, we can image the out-coupled atoms with the cycling transition for the |9/2,â9/2ã state without contamination from the much larger population of atoms that were unaffected by the radiofrequency spectroscopy. Before constructing the photoemission spectra, we clean up the raw images by setting to zero data at large radii where the signal drops below technical noise.
Density inhomogeneity of the trapped gas.
One can define a local Fermi energy, and corresponding local Fermi wavevector, that varies across the cloud. We can estimate the average density of the strongly interacting gas by taking the average density of an ideal trapped Fermi gas at a particular T/TF and multiplying by (Epot/Epot0)â3/2. Here, Epot/Epot0 is the measured ratio (at finite T) of the potential energy of the strongly interacting gas to that of a non-interacting gas30. For the data shown in Fig. 1aâd, the local Fermi energy, in units of the previously defined EF, which corresponds to this average density is 0.81, 0.69, 0.62 and 0.53, respectively. The corresponding local Fermi wavevector, in units of kF, is 0.90, 0.83, 0.79 and 0.73, respectively. To give a sense of the spread in the local Fermi energies, we note that for the ideal trapped Fermi gas, the ratio of the local Fermi energy at the average density to that at the cloud centre is approximately 0.6.
