Abstract

It is shown that the interplay of a confining potential with a periodic potential leads for free particles to states spatially confined on a fraction of the total extension of the system. A more complex `slicing' of the system can be achieved by increasing the period of the lattice potential. These results are especially relevant for fermionic systems, where interaction effects are in general strongly reduced for a single species at low temperatures.
