Formation of a condensed state with macroscopic number of phonons in ultracold Bose gases
A mechanism for the formation of a new type of stationary state with
macroscopical number of phonons in condensed atomic gases is proposed. This
mechanism is based on generating longitudinal phonons as a result of parametric
resonance caused by a permanent modulation of the transverse trap frequency in
an elongated trap. The phonon-phonon interaction predetermines the
self-consistent evolution which is completed with macroscopic population of one
from all levels within the energy interval of parametric amplification. This
level proves to be shifted to the edge of this interval. All other levels end
the evolution with zero population.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure
Modern trends in Superconductivity and Superfluidity. Chapters 11, 13
In Chapter 11 we present Fermi-gas approach for the search of s-wave and
p-wave superfluidity in three-dimensional solutions of He-3 in He-4 and in He-3
submonolayers. In Chapter 13 on the basis of the anisotropic and isotropic t-J
models we study spin-charge separation and confinement in ladder systems and in
high-Tc superconductors.Comment: In preparation for Springer-Verla
Manifestation of superfluidity in an evolving Bose-condensed gas
We study the generation of excitations due to an ''impurity''(static
perturbation) placed into an oscillating Bose-condensed gas in the
time-dependent trapping field. It is shown that there are two regions for the
position of the local perturbation. In the first region the condensate flows
around the ''impurity'' without generation of excitations demonstrating
superfluid properties. In the second region the creation of excitations occurs,
at least within a limited time interval, revealing destruction of
superfluidity. The phenomenon can be studied by measuring the damping of
condensate oscillations at different positions of the ''impurity''
Motion of a condensate in a shaken and vibrating harmonic trap
The dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a time-dependent harmonic
trapping potential is determined for arbitrary variations of the position of
the center of the trap and its frequencies. The dynamics of the BEC wavepacket
is soliton-like. The motion of the center of the wavepacket, and the spatially
and temporally dependent phase (which affects the coherence properties of the
BEC) multiplying the soliton-like part of the wavepacket, are analytically
determined.Comment: Accepted for publication in J. Phys. B: At Mol Opt Phy
Expansion of an interacting Fermi gas
We study the expansion of a dilute ultracold sample of fermions initially
trapped in a anisotropic harmonic trap. The expansion of the cloud provides
valuable information about the state of the system and the role of
interactions. In particular the time evolution of the deformation of the
expanding cloud behaves quite differently depending on whether the system is in
the normal or in the superfluid phase. For the superfluid phase, we predict an
inversion of the deformation of the sample, similarly to what happens with
Bose-Einstein condensates. Viceversa, in the normal phase, the inversion of the
aspect ratio is never achieved, if the mean field interaction is attractive and
collisions are negligible.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, final versio
BCS - BEC crossover and quantum hydrodynamics in p-wave superfluids with a symmetry of the A1 - phase
We solve the Leggett equations for the BCS - BEC crossover in the three
dimension resonance p-wave superfluid with the symmetry of the A1 - phase. We
calculate the sound velocity, the normal density, and the specific heat for the
BCS-domain (\mu > 0), BEC-domain (\mu < 0), and close to important point \mu =
0 in 100% polarized case. We find the indications of quantum phase - transition
close to the point \mu(T = 0) = 0. Deep in the BCS and BEC-domains the
crossover ideas of Leggett and Nozieres, Schmitt-Rink work pretty well. We
discuss the spectrum of orbital waves, the paradox of intrinsic angular
momentum and complicated problem of chiral anomaly in the BCS A1 - phase at T =
0. We present two different approaches to a chiral anomaly: one based on
supersymmetric hydrodynamics, another one on the formal analogy with the Dirac
equation in quantum electrodynamics. We evaluate the damping of nodal fermions
due to different decay processes in superclean case at T = 0 and find that we
are in a ballistic regime \omega\tau >> 1. We propose to use aerogel or
nonmagnetic impurities to reach hydrodynamic regime \omega\tau<< 1 at T = 0. We
discuss the concept of the spectral flow and exact cancellations between
time-derivatives of anomalous and quasiparticle currents in the equation for
the total linear momentum conservation. We propose to derive and solve the
kinetic equation for the nodal quasiparticles both in the hydrodynamic and in
the ballistic regimes to demonstrate this cancellation explicitly. We briefly
discuss the role of the other residual interactions different from damping and
invite experimentalists to measure the spectrum and damping of orbital waves in
A-phase of 3He at low temperatures.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Phase diagram of the Kohn-Luttinger superconducting state for bilayer graphene
The effect of the intersite and interplane Coulomb interactions between the
Dirac fermions on the formation of the Kohn-Luttinger superconductivity in
bilayer doped graphene is studied disregarding the effects of the van der Waals
potential of the substrate and both magnetic and non-magnetic impurities. The
phase diagram determining the boundaries of superconductive domains with
different types of symmetry of the order parameter is built using the extended
Hubbard model in the Born weak-coupling approximation with allowance for the
intratomic, interatomic, and interlayer Coulomb interactions between electrons.
It is shown that the Kohn-Luttinger polarization contributions up to the second
order of perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction inclusively and an
account for the long-range intraplane Coulomb interactions significantly affect
the competition between the superconducting , , and wave
pairings. It is demonstrated that the account for the interplane Coulomb
interaction enhances the critical temperature of the transition to the
superconducting phase.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
