Abstract

We study the sound modes of a Bose–Fermi mixture superfluid at finite temperatures in the collisional hydrodynamic regime. We extend Landau’s hydrodynamic theory to deal with a Bose–Fermi mixture superfluid and show the existence of three sound modes. We calculate the hydrodynamic sound velocities numerically using the Nozières and Schmitt-Rink theory at unitarity. The three-sound-modes hybrid in Bose–Fermi mixture superfluids contrasts with the two sound modes exhibited by 3He and 4He superfluids.

Three Sound Modes in a Bose–Fermi Superfluid Mixture at Finite Temperatures

Yosuke Ono, Rei Hatsuda, Kenta Shiina +2 more

We study sound propagation in a Bose–Fermi superfluid mixture at finite temperatures. Sound modes in the mixture are described by the extended Landau's hydrodynamic theory. Our extended Landau's hydrodynamic theory shows that three sound modes exist. We calculate the hydrodynamic sound velocities and weights in the density response function based on the approach of Noziéres and Schmitt-Rink for the BCS to Bose–Einstein condensation crossover. In a Bose–Fermi superfluid mixture, the three sound mode pulses can be excited with an appreciable amplitude by density perturbations.

Collective Modes in Bose-Fermi Mixture Gases

Asano Yoji, Yoji Asano

This thesis theoretically deals with collective modes in the normal phase of a Bose-Fermi mixture composed of single-species bosons and single-species fermions.The mixture is experimentally established as an ultracold atomic gas.While the community studies the mixture including a superfluid phase, relevant to Bose-Einstein condensation of bosons and Cooper paring of fermions, dynamical behaviors in the normal phase have been not fully understood so that we are interested in.We consider the mixture in both spatially uniform and harmonically trapped systems with the Boltzmann equation at finite temperatures.We perform the analysis under the assumption that the physical quantities are near to equilibrium.After the linerization, we apply the moment method to the equation, obtaining a closed set of coupled equations to describe sound or oscillation.The collisional property of the system characterizes the collective modes in the sense of the hydrodynamic regime, collisionless regime, and transition between these regimes.In the uniform system, we investigate sound mode and the dynamic density structure factor.With decreasing temperature, we find that the sound velocity deviates from that of the hydrodynamic mode.Even at a temperature much lower than the Fermi temperature, the sound velocity does not reach the collisionless limit analogous to the zero sound in a Fermi system.However, we show the existence of a long-lived sound at a low temperature as distinct from the first and zero sounds.Nature of the long-lived sound seems to be originated by Pauli blocking of fermions; this statistical effect makes the interspecies collision suppress in the Bose-Fermi mixture.In the trapped system, we mainly study dipole oscillation.We consistently define the relaxation time originated by the interspecies scattering.We find that two oscillating modes in the collisionless regime have distinct fates in the hydrodynamic regime; one collisionless mode shows a crossover to a hydrodynamic in-phase mode, and the other collisionless mode shows a transition to two purely-damped modes.We show the time evolution of the three types of hydrodynamic modes with suitable initial conditions.We discuss temperature dependence of the dipole modes.We observe that the relaxation time dominates the dependence compared to the mean-field contribution.We also observe the nonmonotonic behavior of the relaxation time when Pauli blocking of fermions is not negligible.i List of Figures 1.1 Two schematic images of collisions with a period of oscillation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 1.2 Measurement of the zero sound in pure liquid 3 He . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 1.3 Transition between the first sound and the zero sound in a two-component Fermi gas . . . 3 1.4 Dipole oscillations of the two-component gas of 40 K . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 1.5 Frequencies of dipole mode in the two-component gas of 40 K . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 1.6 Damping times of dipole mode in the two-component gas of 40 K . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 1.7 Dipole oscillations of the mixture of 87 Rb and 40 K in the hydrodynamic regime . . . . . . .6 1.8 Dipole oscillations of the mixture of 87 Rb and 40 K in the deeper hydrodynamic regime . . .6 1.9 Dipole oscillations of the mixture of 87 Rb and 40 K in the collisionless regime . . . . . . . .7 2.1 Results obtained by solving the coupled moment equations for sound mode . . . . . . . . .26 3.1 Time evolution of the center-of-mass positions and velocity fields . . . . . . . . . . . . . .39 3.2 Dipole modes as a function of the relaxation time with N B = N F . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .40 3.3 Dipole modes as a function of the relaxation time with N B /N F = 0.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . .41 3.4 Ratio of the displacement of the center of mass to the velocity field as a function of the relaxation time . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sound modes in collisional superfluid and normal Bose gases

Koichiro Furutani, Andrea Tononi, Luca Salasnich

We theoretically investigate sound modes in a weakly-interacting collisional Bose gas in $D$ dimensions. Using the Landau's two-fluid hydrodynamics and working within the Bogoliubov theory, we observe the hybridization of the first and second sound modes for $D\ge 2$. To model the recent measurements of the sound velocities in 2D, obtained around the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature and outside the very weakly-interacting regime, we derive a refined calculation of the superfluid density, finding a fair agreement with the experiment. In the 1D case, for which experimental results are currently unavailable, we find no hybridization, triggering the necessity of future experimental investigations. Our analysis provides a systematic understanding of sound propagation in a collisional weakly-interacting Bose gas in $D$ dimensions.

Propagation of second sound in a superfluid Fermi gas in the unitary limit

Emiko Arahata, Tetsuro Nikuni

We study sound propagation in a uniform superfluid gas of Fermi atoms in the unitary limit. The existence of normal and superfluid components leads to appearance of two sound modes in the collisional regime, referred to as first and second sounds. The second sound is of particular interest as it is a clear signal of a superfluid component. Using Landau's two-fluid hydrodynamic theory, we calculate hydrodynamic sound velocities and these weights in the density response function. The latter is used to calculate the response to a sudden modification of the external potential generating pulse propagation. The amplitude of a pulse which is proportional to the weight in the response function is calculated, the basis of the approach of Nozi\`eres and Schmitt-Rink for the BCS-BEC. We show that, in a superfluid Fermi gas at unitarity, the second-sound pulse is excited with an appreciate amplitude by density perturbations.

Hybridization of first and second sound in a weakly interacting Bose gas

Lucas Verney, Лев П. Питаевский, S. Stringari

Using Landau's theory of two-fluid hydrodynamics we investigate the sound modes propagating in a uniform weakly interacting superfluid Bose gas for values of temperature up to the critical point. In order to evaluate the relevant thermodynamic functions needed to solve the hydrodynamic equations, including the temperature dependence of the superfluid density, we use the Bogoliubov theory at low temperatures and the results of a perturbative approach based on the Beliaev diagrammatic technique at higher temperatures. Special focus is given on the hybridization phenomenon between first and second sound which occurs at low temperatures of the order of the interaction energy and we discuss explicitly the behavior of the two sound velocities near the hybridization point.
