Ultracold heteronuclear molecules and ferroelectric superfluids
We analyze the possibility of a ferroelectric transition in heteronuclear
molecules consisting of Bose-Bose, Bose-Fermi or Fermi-Fermi atom pairs. This
transition is characterized by the appearance of a spontaneous electric
polarization below a critical temperature. We discuss the existence of a
ferroelectric Fermi liquid phase for Fermi molecules and the existence of a
ferroelectric superfluid phase for Bose molecules characterized by the
coexistence of ferroelectric and superfluid orders. Lastly, we propose an
experiment to detect ferroelectric correlations through the observation of
coherent dipole radiation pulses during time of flight.Comment: 4 pages and 3 figure
Nonzero orbital angular momentum superfluidity in ultracold Fermi gases
We analyze the evolution of superfluidity for nonzero orbital angular
momentum channels from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to the Bose-Einstein
condensation (BEC) limit in three dimensions. First, we analyze the low energy
scattering properties of finite range interactions for all possible angular
momentum channels. Second, we discuss ground state () superfluid
properties including the order parameter, chemical potential, quasiparticle
excitation spectrum, momentum distribution, atomic compressibility, ground
state energy and low energy collective excitations. We show that a quantum
phase transition occurs for nonzero angular momentum pairing, unlike the s-wave
case where the BCS to BEC evolution is just a crossover. Third, we present a
gaussian fluctuation theory near the critical temperature (),
and we analyze the number of bound, scattering and unbound fermions as well as
the chemical potential. Finally, we derive the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau
functional near , and compare the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length
with the zero temperature average Cooper pair size.Comment: 28 pages and 24 figure
