Signatures of resonance superfluidity in a quantum Fermi gas.

چکیده
We predict a direct and observable signature of the superfluid phase in a quantum Fermi gas, in a temperature regime already accessible in current experiments. We apply the theory of resonance superfluidity to a gas confined in a harmonic potential and demonstrate that a significant increase in density will be observed in the vicinity of the trap center.

Theory of ultracold Fermi gases
The physics of quantum degenerate Fermi gases in uniform as well as in harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Emphasis is given to the effect of interactions which play a crucial role, bringing the gas into a superfluid phase at low temperature. In these dilute systems interactions are characterized by a single parameter, the s-wave scattering length, wh...

متن کاملResonance superfluidity in a quantum degenerate Fermi gas.
We consider the superfluid phase transition that arises when a Feshbach resonance pairing occurs in a dilute Fermi gas. We apply our theory to consider a specific resonance in potassium ((40)K), and find that for achievable experimental conditions, the transition to a superfluid phase is possible at the high critical temperature of about 0.5T(F). Observation of superfluidity in this regime woul...
متن کاملSuperfluidity and collective modes in a uniform gas of Fermi atoms with a Feshbach resonance
We investigate strong-coupling superfluidity in a uniform two-component gas of ultra-cold Fermi atoms attractively interacting via quasi-molecular bosons associated with a Feshbach resonance. This interaction is tunable by the threshold energy 2ν of the Feshbach resonance, becoming large as 2ν is decreased (relative to 2εF, where εF is the Fermi energy of one component.). In recent work, we sho...
