Alkaline-earth-like atoms have emerged in the field of ultracold quantum gases as a promising alternative to alkali atoms. Their internal structure includes low-lying metastable electronic states offering the possibility to simulate many-body models with orbital phenomena. Furthermore, certain isotopes (specifically 87Sr, 173Yb) exhibit a high SU(N) symmetry of interactions which is a result of the decoupling between the nuclear spin and electronic degrees of freedom. Recent experimental advances in this field [1–3] have triggered theoretical interest.
We investigate the SU(4)-symmetric Fermi-Hubbard model in a simple cubic optical lattice at finite temperatures. By means of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory [4] and its real-space extension we study the magnetic phases and entropy characteristics of the system at half- and quarter-filling. We also analyze the influence of different interspecies interactions on possible magnetic orderings.
