Abstract

We study stimulated light scattering off a superfluid Fermi gas of atoms at finite temperature. We derive response function that takes into account vertex correction due to final state interactions; and analyze finite temperature effects on collective and quasiparticle excitations of a uniform superfluid Fermi gas. Light polarization is shown to play an important role in excitations. Our results suggest that it is possible to excite Bogoliubov-Anderson phonon at a large scattering length by light scattering.

Light scattering in Cooper-paired Fermi atoms

Bimalendu Deb

We present a detailed theoretical study of light scattering off superfluid trapped Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature. We apply Nambu-Gorkov formalism of superconductivity to calculate the response function of superfluid gas due to stimulated light scattering taking into account the final state interactions. The polarization of light has been shown to play a significant role in response of Cooper-pairs in the presence of a magnetic field. Particularly important is a scheme of polarization-selective light scattering by either spin-component of the Cooper-pairs leading to the single-particle excitations of one spin-component only. These excitations have a threshold of $2Δ$ where $Δ$ is the superfluid gap energy. Furthermore, polarization-selective light scattering allows for unequal energy and momentum transfer to the two partner atoms of a Cooper-pair. In the regime of low energy ( $<< 2Δ$ ) and low momentum ( $<2Δ/(\hbar v_F)$ , $v_F$ being the Fermi velocity) transfer, a small difference in momentum transfers to the two spin-components may be useful in exciting Bogoliubov-Anderson phonon mode. We present detailed results on the dynamic structure factor (DSF) deduced from the response function making use of generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Model calculations using local density approximation for trapped superfluid Fermi gas shows that when the energy transfer is less than $2Δ_0$ , where $Δ_0$ refers to the gap at the trap center, DSF as a function of energy transfer has reduced gradient compared to that of normal Fermi gas.We present a detailed theoretical study of light scattering off superfluid trapped Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature.

Probing pairing gap in Fermi atoms by light scattering

Bimalendu Deb

We study stimulated scattering of polarized light in a two-component Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature. Within the framework of Nambu-Gorkov formalism, we calculate the response function of superfluid gas taking into account the final state interactions. The dynamic structure factor deduced from the response function provides information about the pairing gap and the momentum distributions of atoms. Model calculations using local density approximation indicates that the pairing gap of trapped Fermi gas may be detectable by Bragg spectroscopy due to stimulated scattering.We study stimulated scattering of polarized light in a two-component Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature.

Phononic collective excitations in superfluid Fermi gases at nonzero temperatures

Serghei N. Klimin, Jacques Tempere, Hadrien Kurkjian

We study the phononic collective modes of the pairing field and their corresponding signature in both the order-parameter and density response functions for a superfluid Fermi gas at all temperatures below ${T}_{c}$ in the collisionless regime. The spectra of collective modes are calculated within the Gaussian pair fluctuation approximation. We deal with the coupling of these modes to the fermionic continuum of quasiparticle-quasihole excitations by performing a nonperturbative analytic continuation of the pairing field propagator. At low temperature, we recover the known exponential temperature dependence of the damping rate and velocity shift of the Anderson-Bogoliubov branch. In the vicinity of ${T}_{c}$ , we find analytically a weakly damped collective mode whose velocity vanishes with a critical exponent of $1/2$ , and whose quality factor diverges logarithmically with ${T}_{c}\ensuremath{-}T$, thereby clarifying an existing debate in the literature [Andrianov and Popov, Theor. Math. Phys. 28, 829 (1976); Ohashi and Takada, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 66, 2437 (1997)]. A transition between these two phononic branches is visible at intermediary temperatures, particularly in the BCS limit where the phase-phase response function displays two maxima.We study the phononic collective modes of the pairing field and their corresponding signature in both the order-parameter and density response functions for a superfluid Fermi gas at all temperatures below ${T}_{c}$ in the collisionless regime.

Collective oscillations of a Fermi gas in the unitarity limit: Temperature effects and the role of pair correlations

S. Riedl, Edmundo R. Sánchez Guajardo, Christoph Kohstall +6 more

We present detailed measurements of the frequency and damping of three different collective modes in an ultracold trapped Fermi gas of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms with resonantly tuned interactions. The measurements are carried out over a wide range of temperatures. We focus on the unitarity limit, where the scattering length is much greater than all other relevant length scales. The results are compared to theoretical calculations that take into account Pauli blocking and pair correlations in the normal state above the critical temperature for superfluidity. We show that these two effects nearly compensate each other and the behavior of the gas is close to that of a classical gas.We present detailed measurements of the frequency and damping of three different collective modes in an ultracold trapped Fermi gas of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms with resonantly tuned interactions.

Collective Excitations of Dilute Bose-Fermi Superfluid Mixtures

Bernhard Hikaru Valtan, Munehiro Nishida, Susumu Kurihara

Using the effective action formalism, we investigate collective excitations of a dilute mixture of a Bose gas and a two component Fermi gas when both bosons and fermions have undergone superfluid transitions. We show that there is a repulsion between Bogoliubov and Anderson modes, which has important implications including disappearance of boson superfluidity. We derive an analytic expression for the long-wavelength dispersion relation of the mixture at zero temperature and give a condition for the instability. We also numerically calculate the damping rate due to boson-fermion interaction at finite temperatures and show that the two modes are stable at sufficiently low temperatures.Using the effective action formalism, we investigate collective excitations of a dilute mixture of a Bose gas and a two component Fermi gas when both bosons and fermions have undergone superfluid transitions.
