dc.descriptionIn the unitary regime, fermions interact strongly via two-body potentials that exhibit a zero range and a (negative) infinite scattering length. The energy density is proportional to the free Fermi gas with a proportionality constant $ξ$. We use a simple density functional parametrized by an effective mass and the universal constant $ξ$, and employ Kohn-Sham density-functional theory to obtain the parameters from fit to one exactly solvable two-body problem. This yields $ξ=0.42$ and a rather large effective mass. Our approach is checked by similar Kohn-Sham calculations for the exactly solvable Calogero model.
