TY - BOOK A1 - Cramer, Marcus A1 - Eisert, Jens A1 - Illuminati, Fabrizio T1 - Inhomogeneous atomic Bose-Fermi mixtures in cubic lattices N2 - We determine the ground state properties of inhomogeneous mixtures of bosons and fermions in cubic lattices and parabolic confining potentials. For finite hopping we determine the domain boundaries between Mott-insulator plateaux and hopping-dominated regions for lattices of arbitrary dimension within mean-field and perturbation theory. The results are compared with a new numerical method that is based on a Gutzwiller variational approach for the bosons and an exact treatment for the fermions. The findings can be applied as a guideline for future experiments with trapped atomic Bose- Fermi mixtures in optical lattices Y1 - 2004 SN - 0031-9007 ER -
