Abstract
We theoretically investigate the normal state properties of a Bose–Fermi mixture with a strong attractive interaction between Fermi and Bose atoms. We extend the ordinary T-matrix approximation (TMA) with respect to Bose–Fermi pairing fluctuations, to include the Hugenholtz–Pines’ relation for all Bose Green’s functions appearing in TMA self-energy diagrams. This extension is shown to be essentially important to correctly describe the physical properties of the Bose–Fermi mixture, especially near the Bose–Einstein condensation instability. Using this improved TMA, we clarify how the formation of composite fermions affects Bose and Fermi single-particle excitation spectra, over the entire interaction strength.
