Abstract

We investigate the three-dimensional BCS–BEC crossover in the presence of a Rabi coupling, which strongly affects several properties of the system, such as the chemical potential, the pairing gap and the superfluid density. We determine the critical interaction strength, below which the system is normal also at zero temperature. Finally, we calculate the effect of the Rabi coupling on the critical temperature of the superfluid-to-normal phase transition by using different theoretical schemes.

BCS-BEC Crossover of Superfluid Fermions with Rabi Coupling

Federico De Bettin

In this thesis we study the BCS-BEC crossover in a gas of ultracold atoms interacting via a two body contact potential and Rabi coupling. We start with a review of the standard BCS-BEC crossover and then derive the corresponding results for the Rabi-coupled system. Among the calculated quantities are the critical temperature, the energy gap, the condensate fraction, the superfluid fraction at the mean field level and the critical temperature beyond mean field, obtained with the NSR approach and the Babaev-Kleinert one.

Modified Fermi sphere, pairing gap, and critical temperature for the BCS-BEC crossover

Stefan Floerchinger, Michael M. Scherer, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

We investigate the phase diagram of two-component fermions in the BCS-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensate) crossover. Using functional renormalization-group equations we calculate the effect of quantum fluctuations on the fermionic self-energy parametrized by a wave-function renormalization, an effective Fermi radius, and the gap. This allows us to follow the modifications of the Fermi surface and the dispersion relation for fermionic excitations throughout the whole crossover region. We also determine the critical temperature of the second-order phase transition to superfluidity. Our results are in agreement with BCS theory including Gorkov's correction for a small negative scattering length $a$ and with an interacting Bose gas for a small positive $a$. At the unitarity point the result for the gap at zero temperature agrees well with quantum Monte Carlo simulations, while the critical temperature differs.

BCS-BEC crossover at finite temperature in spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases

Lianyi He, Xu-Guang Huang, Hui Hu +1 more

By adopting a $T$-matrix-based method within the ${G}_{0}G$ approximation for the pair susceptibility, we study the effects of the pairing fluctuation on the three-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases at finite temperature. The critical temperatures of the superfluid to normal phase transition are determined for three different types of spin-orbit coupling (SOC): (1) the extreme oblate (EO) or Rashba SOC, (2) the extreme prolate or equal Rashba-Dresselhaus SOC, and (3) the spherical (S) SOC. For EO- and S-type SOC, the SOC dependence of the critical temperature signals a crossover from BCS to BEC state; at strong SOC limit, the critical temperature recovers those of ideal BEC of rashbons. The pairing fluctuation induces a pseudogap in the fermionic excitation spectrum in both superfluid and normal phases. We find that, for EO- and S-type SOC, even at weak coupling, sufficiently strong SOC can induce sizable pseudogap. Our research suggests that the spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases may open new means to the study of the pseudogap formation in fermionic systems.

Properties of a Fermi liquid at the superfluid transition in the crossover region between BCS superconductivity and Bose-Einstein condensation

R. Haussmann

The self-consistent equations, which have been derived recently as a microscopic model for the crossover between BCS superconductivity and Bose-Einstein condensation in a three-dimensional interacting Fermi system [R. Haussmann, Z. Phys. B 91, 291 (1993)], are solved numerically by repeated Fourier transformation. We find a superfluid transition temperature ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ which increases monotonically with increasing attractive coupling strength. Furthermore, we determine the chemical potential \ensuremath{\mu}, the fermion distribution function n(k), and the complex effective mass 2${\mathit{m}}^{\mathrm{*}}$ of the fermion pairs at T=${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$. The bound fermion pairs cause a power-law tail \ensuremath{\sim}${\mathit{k}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}4}$ in n(k) for large k and behave as short-living quasiparticles in the crossover region, which is indicated by a large imaginary part of 2${\mathit{m}}^{\mathrm{*}}$.

Superfluid density of states and pseudogap phenomenon in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a superfluid Fermi gas

Ryota Watanabe, Shunji Tsuchiya, Yoji Ohashi

We investigate single-particle excitations and strong-coupling effects in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a superfluid Fermi gas. Including phase and amplitude fluctuations of the superfluid order parameter within a $T$-matrix theory, we calculate the superfluid density of states (DOS), as well as single-particle spectral weight, over the entire BCS-BEC crossover region below the superfluid transition temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$. We clarify how the pseudogap in the normal state evolves into the superfluid gap, as one passes through ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$. While the pseudogap in DOS continuously evolves into the superfluid gap in the weak-coupling BCS regime, the superfluid gap in the crossover region is shown to appear in DOS after the pseudogap disappears below ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$. In the phase diagram with respect to the temperature and interaction strength, we determine the region where strong pairing fluctuations dominate over single-particle properties of the system. Our results would be useful for the study of strong-coupling phenomena in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a superfluid Fermi gas.

Superfluid transition temperature of spin-orbit and Rabi coupled fermions with tunable interactions

Philip D. Powell, Gordon Baym, C. A. R. Sá de Melo

We obtain the superfluid transition temperature of equal Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit and Rabi coupled Fermi superfluids, from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) regimes in three dimensions. Spin-orbit coupling enhances the critical temperature in the BEC limit, and can convert a first order phase transition in the presence of Rabi coupling into second order, as a function of the Rabi coupling for fixed interactions. We derive the Ginzburg-Landau equation to sixth power in the superfluid order parameter to describe both first and second order transitions as a function of spin-orbit and Rabi couplings.
