AN EVALUATION OF SUPER-FLUID DENSITY s AS A FUNCTION OF c T T FOR BCS-BEC CROSSOVER REGIME

Abstract

In a Fermi gas with a Fashbach resonance, one can tune the strengthof the paring interaction by adjusting the threshold energy of Feshbachresonance. The super-fluid density s is always equal to the total carrierdensity  at T  0 which it vanishes at the super-fluid phase transition c T .These properties are satisfied in both Fermi and Bose super-fluid. There is acrucial difference between s in a Fermi superfluid and that in a Bose superfluid.In a mean field BCS theory originates from the thermal dissociationof cooper pairs.There it was observed that that if one increases the strength of thepairing interaction BCS type normal fluid density dominated by quasi-particleexcitation change into BES type normal fluid density dominated byBogoliubov collective excitations. As super-fluid density s plays animportant role in two fluid hydrodynamics these evaluated results would beuseful in the study of dynamical properties in the BCS-BEC crossover regionat finite temperature.

BCS-BEC CROSSOVER IN A SUPERFLUID FERMI GAS

Yoji Ohashi

We discuss the superfluid phase transition in a gas of Fermi atoms with a Feshbach resonance. A tunable pairing interaction associated with the Feshbach resonance is shown to naturally lead to the BCS-BEC crossover, where the character of superfluidity continuously changes from the weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) type to the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of tightly bound molecules, as one decreases the threshold energy 2ν of the Feshbach resonance. We also discuss effects of a trap, as well as the p-wave BCS-BEC crossover adjusted by a p-wave Feshbach resonance.

Superfluid density and condensate fraction in the BCS-BEC crossover regime at finite temperatures

N. Fukushima, Yoji Ohashi, Edward Taylor +1 more

The superfluid density is a fundamental quantity describing the response to a rotation as well as in two-fluid collisional hydrodynamics. We present extensive calculations of the superfluid density ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a uniform superfluid Fermi gas at finite temperatures. We include strong-coupling or fluctuation effects on these quantities within a Gaussian approximation. We also incorporate the same fluctuation effects into the BCS single-particle excitations described by the superfluid order parameter $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ and Fermi chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}$, using the Nozi\`eres--Schmitt-Rink approximation. This treatment is shown to be necessary for consistent treatment of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ over the entire BCS-BEC crossover. We also calculate the condensate fraction ${N}_{c}$ as a function of the temperature, a quantity which is quite different from the superfluid density ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$. We show that the mean-field expression for the condensate fraction ${N}_{c}$ is a good approximation even in the strong-coupling BEC regime. Our numerical results show how ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ and ${N}_{c}$ depend on temperature, from the weak-coupling BCS region to the BEC region of tightly bound Cooper pair molecules. In a companion paper [Phys. Rev. A 74, 063626 (2006)], we derive an equivalent expression for ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ from the thermodynamic potential, which exhibits the role of the pairing fluctuations in a more explicit manner.

Abstract. – We present a theory for a superfluid Fermi gas near the BCS-BEC crossover, including pairing fluctuation contributions to the free energy similar to that considered by Nozières and Schmitt-Rink for the normal phase. In the strong coupling limit, our theory is able to recover the Bogoliubov theory of a weakly interacting Bose gas with a molecular scattering length very close to the known exact result. We compare our results with recent Quantum Monte Carlo simulations both for the ground state and at finite temperature. Excellent agreement is found for all interaction strengths where simulation results are available. The recent experimental realization of strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6 Li and 40 K atoms near a Feshbach resonance has opened up the exciting possibility of investigating the crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) [1–5]. In these systems, the inter-atomic interaction strength can be varied by tuning

Pairing fluctuations and the superfluid density through the BCS-BEC crossover

Edward Taylor, Adam Griffin, N. Fukushima +1 more

We derive an expression for the superfluid density of a uniform two-component Fermi gas through the BCS-BEC crossover in terms of the thermodynamic potential in the presence of an imposed superfluid flow. Treating the pairing fluctuations in a Gaussian approximation following the approach of Nozi\`eres and Schmitt-Rink, we use this definition of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ to obtain an explicit result which is valid at finite temperatures and over the full BCS-BEC crossover. It is crucial that the BCS gap $\ensuremath{\Delta}$, the chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}$, and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ all include the effect of fluctuations at the same level in a self-consistent manner. We show that the normal fluid density ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}\ensuremath{\equiv}n\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ naturally separates into a sum of contributions from Fermi BCS quasiparticles $({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}^{F})$ and Bose collective modes $({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}^{B})$. The expression for ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}^{F}$ is just Landau's formula for a BCS Fermi superfluid but now calculated over the BCS-BEC crossover. The expression for the Bose contribution ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}^{B}$ is more complicated and only reduces to Landau's formula for a Bose superfluid in the extreme BEC limit, where all the fermions have formed stable Bose pairs and the Bogoliubov excitations of the associated molecular Bose condensate are undamped. In a companion paper, we present numerical calculations of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ using an expression equivalent to the one derived in this paper, over the BCS-BEC crossover, including unitarity, and at finite temperatures.

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 in a trapped gas of Fermi atoms with a Feshbach resonance

Yutaro OHASHI, Adam Griffin

We investigate strong-coupling effects on the superfluid phase transition in a gas of Fermi atoms with a Feshbach resonance. The Feshbach resonance describes a composite quasiboson that can give rise to an additional pairing interaction between the Fermi atoms. This attractive interaction becomes stronger as the threshold energy $2\ensuremath{\nu}$ of the Feshbach resonance two-particle bound state is lowered. In a recent paper, we showed that in the uniform Fermi gas, this tunable pairing interaction naturally leads to a crossover from a BCS state to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of the Nozi\`eres and Schmitt-Rink kind, in which the BCS-type superfluid phase transition continuously changes into the BEC type as the threshold energy is decreased. In this paper, we extend our previous work by including the effect of a harmonic trap potential, treated within the local-density approximation. We also give results for both weak and strong coupling to the Feshbach resonance. We show that the BCS-BEC crossover phenomenon strongly modifies the shape of the atomic density profile at the superfluid phase-transition temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{c}},$ reflecting the change of the dominant particles going from Fermi atoms to composite bosons. In the BEC regime, these composite bosons are shown to first appear well above ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}.$ We also discuss the ``phase diagram'' above ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$ as a function of the tunable threshold energy $2\ensuremath{\nu}.$ We introduce a characteristic temperature ${T}^{*}(2\ensuremath{\nu})$ describing the effective crossover in the normal phase from a Fermi gas of atoms to a gas of stable molecules.
