First- and second-sound-like modes at finite temperature in trapped Fermi gases from BCS to BEC

Yan He, Qijin Chen, Chih-Chun Chien +1 more

We determine the temperature $(T)$ dependence of first- and second-sound-like mode frequencies for trapped Fermi gases undergoing the BCS to Bose--Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover. Our results are based on numerical solution of the two-fluid equations in conjunction with a microscopic calculation of thermodynamical variables. As in experiment and at unitarity, we show that the lowest radial breathing mode is $T$ independent. At finite $T$, higher-order breathing modes strongly mix with second sound. Their complex $T$ dependence should provide an alternative way of measuring the transition temperature ${T}_{c}$.

First and Second Sound Modes in a Uniform Fermi Gas

Huang Bei-Bing, Shaolong Wan

First and second sound modes in a uniform fermionic atom gas with Feshbach resonance are investigated in the frame of a two-fluid model at finite temperature. All thermodynamic quantities are calculated for a given thermodynamic potential. The analytical results for thermodynamic quantities and sound velocities in BCS and BEC limits are obtained. The numerical results show that there exists a continuous interpolation for sound velocities of the first and second sound modes at fixed T/T c between BCS and BEC limits. The existence of the second sound mode indicates the existence of superfluidity.

Sound modes at the BCS-BEC crossover

H. Heiselberg

First and second sound speeds are calculated for a uniform superfluid gas of Fermi atoms as a function of temperature, density, and interaction strength. The second sound speed is of particular interest as it is a clear signal of a superfluid component and it determines the critical temperature. The sound modes and their dependence on density, scattering length, and temperature are calculated in the BCS, molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), and unitarity limits and a smooth crossover is extrapolated. It is found that first and second sounds undergo avoided crossing on the BEC side due to mixing. Consequently, they are detectable at crossover both as density and thermal waves in traps.
