摘要
We study the competition between the Wigner crystal and the Laughlin liquid states in an ultracold quasi-two-dimensional rapidly rotating polarized fermionic dipolar gas, and find that the Wigner crystal has a lower energy below a critical filling factor. We examine the quantum crystal to liquid transition for different confinements in the third direction. Our analysis of the phonon spectra of the Wigner crystal taking into account the phonon-phonon interactions also shows the stability of the Wigner crystal for sufficiently low filling factors (nu < 1/7).
