Sažetak
We calculate the reduced single-particle density matrix
RSPDM, momentum distribution, natural orbitals and their occupancies, for a strongly repulsive one-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixture in a double-well potential with a large central barrier. We assume that all particles have the same mass, and fermions are spin polarized. For mesoscopic systems, we find that the ground-state properties qualitatively differ for mixtures with even number of particles (both odd-odd and even-even mixtures) in comparison to mixtures with odd particle numbers (odd-even and even-odd mixtures). For even mixtures the momentum distribution is smooth, whereas the momentum distribution of odd mixtures possesses distinct modulations ; the differences are observed also in the off-diagonal correlations of the RSPDM, and in the occupancies of natural orbitals. The calculation is based on a formula which enables efficient calculation of the RSPDM for mesoscopic mixtures in various potentials.
