BCS-BEC crossover in atomic Fermi gases with a narrow resonance

Abstract

We determine the effects on the BCS-BEC crossover of the energy dependence of the effective two-body interaction, which at low energies is determined by the effective range. To describe interactions with an effective range of either sign, we consider a single-channel model with a two-body interaction having an attractive square well and a repulsive square barrier. We investigate the two-body scattering properties of the model, and then solve the Eagles-Leggett equations for the zero temperature crossover, determining the momentum dependent gap and the chemical potential self-consistently. From this we investigate the dependence of the crossover on the effective range of the interaction.

Non-universal BCS-BEC crossover in resonantly interacting Fermi gases

Lars Melwyn Jensen

We investigate the non-universal behavior of the BCS-BEC crossover model at the normal to superfluid transition. By using a finite temperature quantum field theoretical approach due to Nozieres and Schmitt-Rink and by making the effective range expansion of the effective two-body interaction we numerically calculate the crossover transition temperature as a function of the scattering length, $a_{F},$ and the effective range parameter, $r_{\mathrm{e}}.$ In an ultracold two-component atomic Fermi gas BCS-BEC crossover physics is expected to appear near magnetic-field-induced Feshbach resonances. By matching two-body scattering properties near a Feshbach resonance to a simple renormalized model potential, a broad resonance is characterized by a small effective range and the gas displays a universal BCS-BEC crossover behavior. On the other hand, for a narrow resonance thermodynamic quantities depend the effective range which may be large and negative at resonance. For increasing values of $-r_{\mathrm{e}}$ we find the transition temperature to be suppressed in the crossover region. We furthermore argue for existence of a lower bound of $T_{c}$ at fixed coupling for increasing $-r_{\mathrm{e}}$ in the crossover region.

Finite-range effect in the two-dimensional density-induced BCS–BEC crossover

Hikaru Sakakibara, Hiroyuki Tajima, Haozhao Liang

Abstract We theoretically investigate the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) to Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover in a two-dimensional Fermi gas with the finite-range interaction by using the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory. Expanding the scattering phase shift in terms of the scattering length and effective range, we discuss the effect of the finite-range interaction on the pairing and thermodynamic properties. By solving the gap equation and the number equation self-consistently, we numerically calculate the effective-range dependence of the pairing gap, chemical potential, and pair size throughout the BCS–BEC crossover. Our results would be useful for further understanding of low-dimensional many-body problems.

Pairing and molecule formation along the BCS-BEC crossover for finite range potentials

E Neri, Santiago F. Caballero-Benítez, Vı́ctor Romero-Rochı́n +1 more

Abstract We address the thermodynamics of the zero temperature BCS-BEC crossover of a balanced two component mixture of a finite range interacting fermions within a mean field approach. For the analysis we consider two wide types of finite range potentials describing the interaction between different Fermi species: purely attractive, as the square well, the exponential and the Yukawa potentials, and others having both a repulsive wall at the origin as well as a finite attractive tail, as Van der Waals and dipolar potentials. We study the energy gap, the chemical potential and the pressure as functions of the scattering length for all the interacting potentials considered. The system spatial structure is further analyzed via the the pair functions associated to each potential. We find that for those with pure attractive contributions the crossover can be recognized either, when the chemical potential changes its sign or when the scattering length diverges. In contrast, the pair functions linked to potentials with both repulsive and attractive terms, show wide crossover regions without sharp distinctions at the sign change of the chemical potential nor at unitarity.

Dressed molecules in resonantly interacting ultracold atomic Fermi gases

G. M. Falco, Henk T. C. Stoof

We present a detailed analysis of the two-channel atom-molecule effective Hamiltonian for an ultracold two-component homogeneous Fermi gas interacting near a Feshbach resonance. We particularly focus on the two-body and many-body properties of the dressed molecules in such a gas. An exact result for the many-body T matrix of the two-channel theory is derived by both considering coupled vertex equations and functional-integral methods. Making use of this result allows us to incorporate exactly into the many-body theory the two-body physics of the Feshbach scattering by means of simple analytical formulas without any fitting parameters. New interesting many-body effects are discussed in the case of narrow resonances. We give also a description of the BEC-BCS crossover above and below ${T}_{C}$. The effects of different approximations for the self-energy of the dressed molecules are discussed. The single-channel results are derived as a special limit for broad resonances. Moreover, through an analytic analysis of the BEC limit, the relation between the composite boson of the single-channel model and the dressed-molecule of the two-channel model is established.

Self-consistent theory of atomic Fermi gases with a Feshbach resonance at the superfluid transition

Xia-Ji Liu, Hui Hu

A self-consistent theory is derived to describe the BCS--Bose-Einstein-condensate crossover for a strongly interacting Fermi gas with a Feshbach resonance. In the theory the fluctuation of the dressed molecules, consisting of both preformed Cooper pairs and ``bare'' Feshbach molecules, has been included within a self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation, beyond the Nozi\`eres and Schmitt-Rink strategy considered by Ohashi and Griffin. The resulting self-consistent equations are solved numerically to investigate the normal-state properties of the crossover at various resonance widths. It is found that the superfluid transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ increases monotonically at all widths as the effective interaction between atoms becomes more attractive. Furthermore, a residue factor ${Z}_{m}$ of the molecule's Green function and a complex effective mass have been determined to characterize the fraction and lifetime of Feshbach molecules at ${T}_{c}$. Our many-body calculations of ${Z}_{m}$ agree qualitatively well with recent measurments of the gas of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms near the broad resonance at $834\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{G}$. The crossover from narrow to broad resonances has also been studied.

Pairing and molecule formation along the BEC-BCS crossover for finite range potentials

Eleazar Neri, Santiago F. Caballero-Benítez, Vı́ctor Romero-Rochı́n +1 more

We analyze the BCS-BEC crossover transition of a balanced two component mixture of fermions interacting via a finite range potential, within a mean field approach. For the analysis we consider three finite range potentials cases describing the interaction between different Fermi species: a square well, an exponential and a Yukawa potential. The T = 0 thermodynamics analysis along the BCS-BEC crossover allow us to recognize the proper variables, for finite range interactions, that capture the transition from a thermodynamic non-universal behavior at unitarity, to its universal restoration. On the other side, the determination of the pair functions along the crossover suggests that the smooth transition occurs always between the scattering resonance and the change of sign of the chemical potential. This identification follows directly from the pair wave functions behavior, which in the BCS and BEC sides become exponentially localized and oscillatory slowly decaying respectively.
