Phase Diagram of a Polarized Fermi Gas
نویسنده
چکیده
The polarized Fermi gas, which has recently been realized in ultra-cold atomic gases where the number of atoms in the two spin states is different, has attracted many experimental and theoretical works. This paper introduces the phase diagram of the polarized Fermi gas at T = 0 and at finite temperature as well. Open questions that haven’t been solved are pointed out and available experiments are presented.

Finite-temperature phase diagram of a spin-polarized ultracold Fermi gas in a highly elongated harmonic trap
We investigate the finite-temperature properties of an ultracold atomic Fermi gas with spin population imbalance in a highly elongated harmonic trap. Previous studies at zero temperature showed that the gas stays in an exotic spatially inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov FFLO superfluid state at the trap center; while moving to the edge, the system changes into either a nonpolarized ...

We present a systematic study of quantum phases in a one-dimensional spin-polarized Fermi gas. Three comparative theoretical methods are used to explore the phase diagram at zero temperature: the mean-field theory with either an order parameter in a single-plane-wave form or a self-consistently determined order parameter using the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations, as well as the exact Bethe ansat...
متن کاملUnitary Fermi gas in the ǫ expansion
We construct systematic expansions around four and two spatial dimensions for a Fermi gas near the unitarity limit. Near four spatial dimensions such a Fermi gas can be understood as a weaklyinteracting system of fermionic and bosonic degrees of freedom. To the leading and next-to-leading orders in the expansion over ǫ = 4 − d, with d being the dimensionality of space, we calculate the thermody...

Based on the integrable Gaudin model and local density approximation, we discuss the ground state of a one-dimensional trapped Fermi gas with imbalanced spin population, for an arbitrary attractive interaction. A phase separation state, with a polarized superfluid core immersed in an unpolarized superfluid shell, emerges below a critical spin polarization. Above it, coexistence of polarized sup...
متن کاملDeformation of a trapped Fermi gas with unequal spin populations.
The real-space densities of a polarized strongly interacting two-component Fermi gas of 6Li atoms reveal two low-temperature regimes, both with a fully paired core. At the lowest temperatures, the unpolarized core deforms with increasing polarization. Sharp boundaries between the core and the excess unpaired atoms are consistent with a phase separation driven by a first-order phase transition. ...
