Measurement of Sound Velocity in a Fermi Gas near a Feshbach Resonance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sound waves are excited in an optically trapped degenerate Fermi gas of spin-up and spin-down atoms with magnetically tunable interactions. Measurements are made throughout the crossover region, from a weakly interacting Fermi gas through the resonant Fermi superfluid regime to a Bose condensate of dimer molecules. The measured sound velocities test theories of hydrodynamic wave propagation and predictions of the equation of state. At resonance, the sound velocity exhibits universal scaling with the Fermi velocity, to within 1.8% over a factor of 30 in density.

Mean-field phase diagrams of imbalanced Fermi gases near a Feshbach resonance
We propose phase diagrams for an imbalanced unequal number of atoms or Fermi surface in two pairing hyperfine states gas of atomic fermions near a broad Feshbach resonance using mean-field theory. Particularly, in the plane of interaction and polarization we determine the region for a mixed phase composed of normal and superfluid components. We compare our prediction of phase boundaries with th...
متن کاملHigh Temperature Superfluid and Feshbach Resonance
We study an effective field theory describing cold fermionic atoms near a Feshbach resonance. The theory gives a unique description of the dynamics in the limit that the energy of the Feshbach resonance is tuned to be twice that of the Fermi surface. We show that in this limit the zero temperature superfluid condensate is of order the Fermi energy, and obtain a critical temperature TC ≃ 0.43 TF...
متن کاملPolarized Fermi gases
Recently, two experiments, reported in Science[1, 2], have studied a polarized ultra-cold degenerate Fermi gas. This is a very new area that has attracted a great amount of interest from widely varying fields ranging from condensed matter physics, atomic molecular and optical physics, to particle and astro physics. As polarized Fermi gases have been demonstrated to be stable near the resonance,...

We study the pairing of Fermi gases near the d-wave Feshbach resonance. Using Nozieres and Schmitt-Rink potential that produces the two –body energy Scattering amplitude, we have obtained an analytic solution of the gap equation and ground states by minimizing of energy at .
متن کاملCondensation of pairs of fermionic atoms near a Feshbach resonance.
We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of pairs of fermionic atoms in an ultracold 6Li gas at magnetic fields above a Feshbach resonance, where no stable 6Li2 molecules would exist in vacuum. We accurately determined the position of the resonance to be 822+/-3 G. Molecular Bose-Einstein condensates were detected after a fast magnetic field ramp, which transferred pairs of atoms at close di...
