Fermionic superfluidity with imbalanced spin populations

MW Zwierlein, A Schirotzek, CH Schunck, W Ketterle - Science, 2006 - science.org

superfluidity, in particular the elusive Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, in the …

Imbalanced feshbach-resonant fermi gases

L Radzihovsky, DE Sheehy - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an overview of recent developments in species-imbalanced ('polarized')
Feshbach-resonant Fermi gases. We summarize the current status of thermodynamics of …

BEC–BCS crossover, phase transitions and phase separation in polarized resonantly-paired superfluids

DE Sheehy, L Radzihovsky - Annals of Physics, 2007 - Elsevier
We study resonantly-paired s-wave superfluidity in a degenerate gas of two species
(hyperfine states labeled by↑,↓) of fermionic atoms when the numbers N↑ and N↓ of the …

Deformation of a trapped Fermi gas with unequal spin populations

GB Partridge, W Li, YA Liao, RG Hulet, M Haque… - Physical review …, 2006 - APS
The real-space densities of a polarized strongly interacting two-component Fermi gas of Li 6
atoms reveal two low-temperature regimes, both with a fully paired core. At the lowest …
