Abstract
Super Efimov states are new kinds of universal three-body bound states predicted for three identical fermions with resonant interactions in two dimensions (2D) by a recent field-theoretic calculation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235301 (2013)]. The binding energies of these states obey a dramatic double exponential scaling with universal scaling and three-body parameters and . We use the hyperspherical formalism and show that the super Efimov states originate from an emergent effective potential at large hyperradius . Moreover, for pairwise interparticle potentials with van der Waals tails, our numerical calculation indicates that the three-body parameters and are also universal and the ground super Efimov state shall cross the threshold when the scattering area is about , with the van der Waals length.
