The degenerate Fermi gas with density-dependent interactions in the large-Nlimit under the K-harmonic approximation

Seth T. Rittenhouse, Chris H. Greene

We present a simple implementation of a density-dependent, zero-range interaction in a degenerate Fermi gas using hyperspherical coordinates in the large particle number limit. The method produces a 1D effective potential that accurately describes the ground-state energy as a function of the hyperradius of the two spin component gas throughout the vicinity of the unitarity regime. In the unitarity regime the breathing mode frequency is found to limit to the non-interacting value. A dynamical instability, similar to the Bosenova, is predicted to be possible for a gas containing more than three spin components, for large, negative, two-body scattering lengths. While the situation is less clear for the gas with three components, collapse might also be possible.

Phase diagram of trapped degenerate Fermi gases including effective s- and p-wave interactions

R Roth, H Feldmeier

The influence of s- and p-wave interactions on trapped degenerate one- and two-component Fermi gases is investigated. The energy functional of a multicomponent Fermi gas is derived within the Thomas-Fermi approximation, including the s- and p-wave terms of an effective contact interaction. On this basis the stability of the dilute gas against mean-field induced collapse due to attractive interactions is investigated and explicit stability conditions in terms of Fermi momentum and s- and p-wave scattering lengths are derived. Furthermore, the spatial separation in a two-component Fermi gas is discussed, explicit conditions for the onset of component demixing are given, and the density distributions in the separated phase are calculated. The findings are summarized in a zero-temperature phase diagram for the degenerate two-component Fermi gas. It is shown that the p-wave interaction has a significant influence on the phase diagram of the degenerate Fermi gas and causes new phenomena such as absolute stabilization against collapse and component separation. It may therefore be useful in the context of the envisioned BCS transition in trapped atomic Fermi gases.

Phase diagram of trapped degenerate Fermi gases including effective s- and p-wave interactions

R. Roth, H. Feldmeier

Abstract. The inuence of s- and p-wave interactions on trapped degenerate one and two-component Fermi gases is investigated. The energy functional of a multicomponent Fermi gas is derived within the Thomas-Fermi approximation including the s- and p-wave terms of an eective contact interaction. On this basis the stability of the dilute gas against mean-eld induced collapse due to attractive interactions is investigated and explicit stability conditions in terms of Fermi momentum and s- and p-wave scattering lengths are derived. Furthermore the spatial separation in a two-component Fermi gas is discussed, explicit conditions for the onset of component demixing are given, and the density distributions in the separated phase are calculated. The ndings are summarized in a zero-temperature phase diagram for the degenerate two-component Fermi gas. It is shown that the p-wave interaction has signicant inuence on the phase diagram of the degenerate Fermi gas and causes new phenomena like absolute stabilization against collapse and component separation. It may therefore be useful in the context of the envisioned BCS transition in trapped atomic Fermi gases. PACS numbers: 03.75.Fi, 34.20.Cf, 32.80.Pj 1.
