摘要
We investigate the strongly correlated effect of cold atoms in a triangular optical lattice using the dynamical cluster approximation combined with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. When the interaction increases, the Fermi surface evolves from a circular ring into a flat plane, and the system transitions from a Fermi liquid into a Mott insulator. The transition between the Fermi liquid and a pseudogap shows a reentrant behavior due to the Kondo effect. We give an experimental protocol to observe these phenomena in future experiments by varying the lattice depth and the atomic interaction via the Feshbach resonance.
