We study the pairing of Fermi gases near the d-wave Feshbach resonance. Using Nozieres and Schmitt-Rink potential that produces the two –body energy Scattering amplitude, we have obtained an analytic solution of the gap equation and ground states by minimizing of energy at .
We study the pairing of Fermi gases near the scattering resonance of the l not equal 0 partial wave. Using a model potential which reproduces the actual two-body low energy scattering amplitude, we have obtained an analytic solution of the gap equation. We show that the ground state of l=1 and l=3 superfluids are orbital ferromagnets with pairing wave functions Y11 and Y32, respectively. For l=2, there is a degeneracy between Y22 and a "cyclic state." Dipole energy will orient the angular momentum axis. The gap function can be determined by the angular dependence of the momentum distribution of the fermions.
The ground state of an atomic Fermi gas near the Feshbach resonance for a negative scattering length is investigated using the variational method. The structure of the superfluid state is formed by two coherently coupled subsystems, viz., the quasimolecular subsystem in a closed channel and the subsystem of atomic pairs in an open channel. The derived system of equations makes it possible to describe the properties of the ground state for arbitrary values of the parameters (in particular, to find the gap in the single-particle Fermi excitation spectrum and the speed of sound characterizing the branch of collective Bose excitations).
Within the framework of the variational approach the ground state is studied in a gas of Fermi atoms near the Feshbach resonance at negative scattering length. The structure of the originating superfluid state is formed by two coherently bound subsystems. One subsystem is that of quasi molecules in the closed channel and the other is a system of pairs of atoms in the open channel. The set of equations derived allows us to describe the properties of the ground state at an arbitrary magnitude of the parameters. In particular, it allows one to find a gap in the spectrum of single-particle Fermi excitations and sound velocity characterizing a branch of collective Bose excitations.
We explore p-wave pairing in a single-channel two-component Fermi system with unequal population near Feshbach resonance. Our analytical and numerical study reveal a rich superfluid (SF) ground state structure as a function of imbalance. In addition to the state Δ±1 ∝ Y1±1, a multitude of “mixed” SF states formed of linear combinations of Y1m's give global energy minimum under a phase stability condition; these states exhibit variation in energy with the relative phase between the constituent gap amplitudes. States with local energy minimum are also obtained. We provide a geometric representation of the states. A T = 0 polarization vs. p-wave coupling phase diagram is constructed across the BEC-BCS regimes. With increased polarization, the global minimum SF state may undergo a quantum phase transition to the local minimum SF state.
We calculate the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of bosonic atoms across a Feshbach resonance and show how medium effects at negative scattering lengths give rise to pairs reminiscent of the ones responsible for fermionic superfluidity. We find that the formation of pairs leads to a large suppression of the critical temperature. Within the formalism developed by Nozi\`eres and Schmitt-Rink, the gas appears mechanically stable throughout the entire crossover region, but when interactions between pairs are taken into account we show that the gas becomes unstable close to the critical temperature. We discuss prospects of observing these effects in a gas of ultracold 133Cs atoms where recent measurements indicate that the gas may be sufficiently long lived to explore the many-body physics around a Feshbach resonance.
We report results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the ground state of dilute Fermi gases with attractive short-range two-body interactions. The strength of the interaction is varied to study different pairing regimes which are characterized by the product of the s-wave scattering length and the Fermi wave vector, akF. We report results for the ground-state energy, the pairing gap $\ensuremath{\Delta}$, and the quasiparticle spectrum. In the weak-coupling regime, $1∕a{k}_{F}<\ensuremath{-}1$, we obtain Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid and the energy gap $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ is much smaller than the Fermi gas energy EFG. When a>0, the interaction is strong enough to form bound molecules with energy Emol. For $1∕a{k}_{F}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.5$, we find that weakly interacting composite bosons are formed in the superfluid gas with $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ and gas energy per particle approaching $\ensuremath{\mid}{E}_{\mathrm{mol}}\ensuremath{\mid}∕2$. In this region, we seem to have Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of molecules. The behavior of the energy and the gap in the BCS-to-BEC transition region, $\ensuremath{-}0.5<1∕a{k}_{F}<0.5$, is discussed.
