Competition of superfluid phases in low-dimensional spin-½ fermions with s- and p-wave interactions

Abstract

Abstract The ground state of spin-$1/2$ fermions with contact $s$-wave inter- and $p$-wave intra-species interactions is discussed. Particularly, we formulate the mean field scheme for calculating thermodynamic properties of the system in arbitrary dimension $D<2$ and discuss in detail the phase diagram in the 1D case. Except for clean phases with either singlet or triplet Cooper pairings, we have identified two mixed phases (one stable and another metastable) of the one-dimensional two-component fermions where both pairing mechanisms coexist. PACS numbers: 67.85.-d

Competition between pairing and tripling in one-dimensional fermions with coexistent s - and p -wave interactions

Yixin Guo, Hiroyuki Tajima

We theoretically investigate in-medium two- and three-body correlations in one-dimensional two-component Fermi gases with coexistent even-parity $s$-wave and odd-parity $p$-wave interactions. We find the solutions of the stable in-medium three-body cluster states such as the Cooper triple by solving the corresponding in-medium variational equations. We further feature a phase diagram consisting of the $s$- and $p$-wave Cooper pairing phases, and Cooper tripling phase, in a plane of $s$- and $p$-wave pairing strengths. The Cooper tripling phase dominates over the pairing phases when both $s$- and $p$-wave interactions are moderately strong.

PAIRING IN ASYMMETRICAL FERMI SYSTEMS

Khandker Quader, Renyuan Liao

We consider inter- and intra-species pairing interactions in an asymmetrical Fermi system. Using equation of motion method, we obtain coupled mean-field equations for superfluid gap functions and population densities. We construct a phase diagram across BCS-BEC regimes. Due to intra-species correlations, the BCS singlet superfluid state can sustain finite polarizations, P. For larger P, we find phase separations in BCS and BEC regimes. A superfluid phase exists for all P deep in BEC regime. Our results may apply to pairing in ultracold fermions, nuclear and quark matter physics.

New superfluid states - a first glance

George Kastrinakis

We introduce a new fermionic variational wavefunction, generalizing the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) wavefunction, which is suitable for interacting multi-species spinful systems and sustaining superfluidity. Applications range from quark matter to the high temperature superconductors. A wide class of Hamiltonians, comprising interactions and hybridization of arbitrary momentum dependence between different fermion species, can be treated in a comprehensive manner. This is the case, as both the intra-species and the inter-species interactions are treated on equally rigorous footing, which is accomplished via the introduction of a new quantum index attached to the fermions. The index is consistent with known fermionic physics, and allows for heretofore unaccounted for fermion-fermion correlations. We have derived the finite temperature version of the theory, thus obtaining the renormalized quasiparticle dispersion relations, and we discuss the appearance of charge and spin density wave order. We present numerical solutions for two electron species in 2 dimensions. Based on these solutions, we show that, for equivalent spin up and down fermions, the Fermi occupation factor (per spin) equals 1/2 deep in the Fermi sea. This constitutes a unique experimental prediction of the theory, both for the normal and superfluid states. Interestingly, this result, obtained in the thermodynamic limit, is consistent with Fermi occupation factor (in-)equalities for finite systems of electrons, derived (in a different context) by Borland and Dennis, J. Phys. B {\bf 5}, 7 (1972) and by Altunbulak and Klyachko, Commun. Math. Phys. {\bf 282}, 287 (2008).

Mean-field phase diagram of the Bose-Fermi Hubbard model

Marin Bukov, Lode Pollet

We analyze the ground-state properties of mixtures consisting of scalar bosons and spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fermions using a mean-field treatment of the local boson-fermion interaction on a simple cubic lattice. In the deep superfluid limit of the boson sector and the BCS regime of the fermion sector, we derive BCS-type equations to determine the phase diagram of the system. We find a competition between a charge density wave and a superconducting phase. In the opposite limit, we study the Mott-insulator-to-superfluid transition of the boson sector in the presence of a staggered density-induced alternating potential provided by the fermions, and determine the mean-field transition line. In the two-superfluids phase of the mixture, we restrict to nearest-neighbor-induced interactions between the fermions and consider the extended Hubbard model. We perform a mean-field analysis of the critical temperature for the formation of boson-assisted $s$-, extended ${s}^{\ensuremath{-}}$-, $d$-, and $p$-wave pairs at fermionic half-filling. We compare our results with a recent dynamical mean-field study [P. Anders et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 206401 (2012)].

Asymmetric fermion superfluid with inter- and intra-species pairings

Xu-Guang Huang, Xuewen Hao, Pengfei Zhuang

We investigate the phase structure of an asymmetric fermion superfluid with inter- and intra-species pairings. The introduction of the intra-species pairing mechanism in canonical ensemble changes significantly the phase diagram and brings in a new state with coexisting inter- and intra-species pairings. Different from the case with only inter-species pairing, all the fermion excitations are fully gapped in the region with intra-species pairing.

Abstract The ground state of spin-1/21/21/2 fermions with contact sss-wave inter- and ppp-wave intra-species interactions is discussed. Particularly, we formulate the mean field scheme for calculating thermodynamic properties of the system in arbitrary dimension D<2D<2D<2 and discuss in detail the phase diagram in the 1D case. Except for clean phases with either singlet or triplet Cooper pairings, we have identified two mixed phases (one stable and another metastable) of the one-dimensional two-component fermions where both pairing mechanisms coexist.
