Orbital ordering of ultracold alkaline-earth atoms in optical lattices

We report on a dynamical mean-field theoretical analysis of emerging low-temperature phases in multicomponent gases of fermionic alkaline-earth(-like) atoms in state-dependent optical lattices. Using the example of ^{173}Yb atoms, we show that a two-orbital mixture with two nuclear spin components i...
