Heteronuclear fermionic superfluids with spin degrees of freedom
arXiv:0801.2798 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.77.053605
Abstract
We present a theory of spinor superfluidity in a two-species heteronuclear ultracold fermionic atomic gas consisting of arbitrary half-integer spin and one-half spin atoms. In particular, we focus on the magnetism of the superfluid phase and determine the possible phases in the absence of a magnetic field. Our work demonstrates similarities between heteronuclear fermionic superfluids and spinor Bose-Einstein condensates at the mean-field level. Possible experimental situations are discussed.
