Abstract

We use Landau's theory of a normal Fermi liquid to derive expressions for the static response of a system with a general tensor interaction that conserves the total spin and the total angular momentum of the quasiparticle-quasihole pair. The magnetic susceptibility is calculated in detail, with the inclusion of the center of mass tensor and cross vector terms in addition to the exchange tensor one. We also introduce a new parametrization of the tensor Landau parameters which significantly reduces the importance of high angular harmonic contributions. For nuclear matter and neutron matter we find that the two most important effects of the tensor interaction are to give a contribution from multipair states and to renormalize the magnetic moments. Response to a weak probe may be calculated using similar methods, replacing the magnetic moments with the matrix elements of the weak charges.

Long-wavelength spin- and spin-isospin correlations in nucleon matter

G. I. Lykasov, E. Olsson, C. J. Pethick

We analyze the long-wavelength response of a normal Fermi liquid using Landau theory. We consider contributions from intermediate states containing one additional quasiparticle-quasihole pair as well as those from states containing two or more additional quasiparticle-quasihole pairs. For the response of an operator corresponding to a conserved quantity, we show that the behavior of matrix elements to states with more than one additional quasiparticle-quasihole pair at low excitation energies $\ensuremath{\omega}$ varies as $1/\ensuremath{\omega}$. It is shown how rates of processes involving transitions to two quasiparticle-quasihole states may be calculated in terms of the collision integral in the Landau transport equation for quasiparticles.

On the theory of superfluid Fermi liquid with spin-triplet pairing in a magnetic field

A. N. Tarasov

The Fermi-liquid approach generalized to superfluid systems is used to derive general formulas for the normal and abnormal distribution functions (DF) for quasiparticles of a superfluid Fermi liquid (SFL) consisting of electrically neutral fermions with spin-triplet pairing (the spin of a pair s=1, the orbital angular momentum l of the pair being an arbitrary odd number) in a static uniform magnetic field, taking into account the Landau spin-exchange Fermi-liquid interaction at temperatures 0<T<Tc (Tc is the temperature of phase transition from the normal to the superfluid state). In deriving the DF, the explicit form of the energy functional (EF) for SFL is not used. A system of coupled equations is obtained for the order parameter, energy of quasiparticles, and effective magnetic field for the SFL under investigation in the case of an EF quadratic in DF. The obtained DF and the system of equations are applicable for describing both unitary and nonunitary phases of superfluid He3 in a magnetic field, e.g., for determining the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of these phases.

Quasiparticle pseudo-Hamiltonian of an infinitesimally polarized Fermi liquid

Sudhakar Yarlagadda, Gabriele F. Giuliani

We present the microscopic derivation of a quasiparticle pseudo-Hamiltonian for an infinitesimally polarized electron liquid. The Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of suitably defined quasiparticle operators. Our approach is based on a canonical transformation which allows one to replace the bare Coulombic coupling between the interacting electrons with an effective interaction between quasiparticles in which collective charge and spin fluctuations are explicitly accounted for. The relevant matrix elements of the charge and spin-density operators enter our theory via linear-response functions: the charge response, the longitudinal and transverse spin responses, and the mixed charge-spin response. These susceptibilities are in turn expressed in terms of the appropriate many-body local fields. As a consequence our method can be seen as an attempt to satisfactorily include in a self-consistent manner the effects of the vertex corrections associated with charge and spin-fluctuations of the electron liquid. As a result useful expressions for the quasiparticle energy and the effective interaction between two quasiparticles are determined. These can, in turn, be employed in a microscopic determination of the parameters of the Landau theory of the Fermi liquid. The generalization of our results to a multicomponent system is also discussed.

Some questions in the theory of a superfluid Fermi liquid with triplet pairing in a magnetic field

A. N. Tarasov

General expressions are obtained in explicit form for the anomalous and normal distribution functions of quasiparticles in nonunitary phases of a superfluid paramagnetic Fermi liquid consisting of electrically neutral fermions with triplet pairing (the pairs have spin s=1 and an arbitrary odd value of the orbital angular momentum l) in a uniform static magnetic field. A generalized Fermi-liquid approach is used which takes into account the exchange Fermi-liquid interaction but does not specify the form of the energy functional of the superfluid Fermi liquid. The results are valid at any temperature in the interval 0⩽T⩽Tc, where Tc is the temperature of the phase transition from the normal to the superfluid state. When an explicit form of the energy functional is specified, the general formulas for the distribution function can be used to describe the various nonunitary phases of a superfluid Fermi liquid of the He3 type in a high magnetic field. In particular, for He3-A1, He3-A2, and the nonunitary two-dimensional phase of He3 in a high magnetic field at 0⩽T⩽Tc, an energy functional quadratic in the distribution function is used to find a system of coupled equations for the order parameter and the effective magnetic field and to obtain an expression is obtained for the nonlinear magnetic susceptibility.

Theory of a Superfluid Fermi Liquid. I. General Formalism and Static Properties

A. J. Leggett

The microscopic theory of a superfluid Fermi liquid at finite temperature is developed for the case of a pure system with $S$-wave pairing, and applied to the calculation of the static properties. As a function of $\ensuremath{\theta}\ensuremath{\equiv}\frac{T}{{T}_{c}}$ these properties are determined entirely by the Landau parameters ${F}_{0}$, ${F}_{1}$, ${Z}_{0}$, etc., characterizing quasiparticle interactions in the normal phase. In particular the spin susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and the density of the normal component ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}$ are given by $\frac{\ensuremath{\chi}(\ensuremath{\theta})}{\ensuremath{\chi}(1)}=(1+\frac{1}{4}{Z}_{0})\frac{f(\ensuremath{\theta})}{[1+\frac{1}{4}{Z}_{0}f(\ensuremath{\theta})]},$ $\frac{{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}}{\ensuremath{\rho}}=(1+\frac{1}{3}{F}_{1})\frac{f(\ensuremath{\theta})}{[1+\frac{1}{3}{F}_{1}f(\ensuremath{\theta})]},$ where the universal function $f(\ensuremath{\theta})\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{-}{[\ensuremath{\nu}(0)]}^{\ensuremath{-}1}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{\mathrm{p}}(\frac{\mathrm{dn}}{d{E}_{\mathrm{p}}})$ is the "effective density of states near the Fermi surface" relative to its value $\ensuremath{\nu}(0)$ in the normal phase. Thus the often-quoted expression ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}=\frac{1}{3}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{p}}^{2}(\frac{\mathrm{dn}}{d{E}_{\mathrm{p}}})$ is valid for an interacting system only in the limit $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$. In the latter part of the paper a simple phenomenological theory of "Fermi-liquid" effects on $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}$ is developed for arbitrary conditions (including the presence of impurities and pairing with $l\ensuremath{\ne}0$); it is found that under most circumstances explicit expressions for $\ensuremath{\chi}$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}$ may be obtained which involve only the Landau parameters and a suitably generalized effective density of states. The theory should apply to the possible superfluid phase of ${\mathrm{He}}^{3}$ and to most superconductors. It is suggested that the Knight shift in nontransition-metal superconductors should display some "Fermi-liquid" effects. The weak-field dc penetration depth $\ensuremath{\lambda}(T)$ is shown to be insensitive to such effects both in the Pippard limit and near ${T}_{c}$; however, in a London superconductor at lower temperatures the correction to $\ensuremath{\lambda}(T)$ should be observable and yield a direct estimate of ${F}_{1}$.

Generalized susceptibilities and Landau parameters for anisotropic Fermi liquids

Pablo Agustín Rodriguez Ponte, D. C. Cabra, Nicolás Grandi

We study Fermi liquids (FLs) with a Fermi surface that lacks continuous rotational invariance and in the presence of an arbitrary quartic interaction. We obtain the expressions of the generalized static susceptibilities that measure the linear response of a generic order parameter to a perturbation of the Hamiltonian. We apply our formulae to the spin and charge susceptibilities. Based on the resulting expressions, we make a proposal for the definition of the Landau parameters in nonisotropic FL.
