Determination of the superfluid gap in atomic Fermi gases by quasiparticle spectroscopy.

چکیده
We present majority and minority radio frequency spectra of strongly interacting imbalanced Fermi gases of 6Li. We observed a smooth evolution in the nature of pairing correlations from pairing in the superfluid region to polaron binding in the highly polarized normal region. The imbalance induces quasiparticles in the superfluid region even at very low temperature. This leads to a local bimodal spectral response, which allowed us to determine the superfluid gap Delta and the Hartree energy U.

BCS-BEC crossover and topological phase transition in 3D spin-orbit coupled degenerate Fermi gases.
We investigate the BCS-BEC crossover in three-dimensional degenerate Fermi gases in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Zeeman field. We show that the superfluid order parameter destroyed by a large Zeeman field can be restored by the SOC. With increasing strengths of the Zeeman field, there is a series of topological quantum phase transitions from a nontopological superfluid state wi...
متن کاملPairing gap and in-gap excitations in trapped fermionic superfluids.
We consider trapped atomic Fermi gases with Feshbach-resonance enhanced interactions in pseudogap and superfluid temperatures. We calculate the spectrum of radio-frequency (or laser) excitations for transitions that transfer atoms out of the superfluid state. The spectrum displays the pairing gap and also the contribution of unpaired atoms, that is, in-gap excitations. The results support the c...
متن کاملRadio-Frequency Spectroscopy of Ultracold Atomic Fermi Gases
This thesis presents experiments investigating the phase diagram of ultracold atomic Fermi gases using radio-frequency spectroscopy. The tunability of many experimental parameters including the temperature, the interparticle interaction strength and the relative population of different fermions allows to access very different physical regimes. Radio-frequency spectroscopy has been developed int...
متن کاملPairing in Atomic Fermi Gases
Strong evidence for pairing and superfluidity has recently been found in atomic Fermi gases at the BCS-BEC crossover both in collective modes and RF excitation energies. It is argued that the scale for the effective pairing gaps measured in RF experiments is set by the lowest quasiparticle in-gap excitation energies. These are calculated at the BCS-BEC crossover from semiclassical solutions to ...
متن کاملPair-correlation in Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermi Superfluid of Atomic Gases
We describe pair-correlation inherent in the structure of many-particle ground state of quantum gases, namely, Bose Einstein condensate and Cooper-paired Fermi superfluid of atomic gases. We make a comparative study on the pair-correlation properties of these two systems. We discuss how to probe this pair-correlation by stimulated light scattering. This intrinsic pair-correlation may serve as a...
