Fig. 1: Persistent currents of colour superfluids (CSFs) and trions.
From: Probe for bound states of SU(3) fermions and colour deconfinement
Persistent current I(ϕ) of the three colours (red squares, green circles, blue crosses) against the effective magnetic flux ϕ/ϕ0. a, b depict the persistent current of a CSF and trion respectively. The interactions for the CSF are ∣UAB∣/t = ∣UBC∣/t = 0.01 and ∣UAC∣/t = 3. For a trion, ∣U∣/t = 3 for all colours. All presented results are obtained for Np = 9, L = 15 and using DMRG. The lines are meant to be a guide to the eye for the reader, to aid in perceiving the fractionalization.
