Phase separation in imbalanced fermion superfluids beyond mean-field
arXiv:0807.4434 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.78.023626
Abstract
The density distributions of the two components of a trapped, ultracold Fermi gas with population imbalance reveal the effect of imbalance on superfluid pairing. We develop a path-integral derivation of the density, that takes into account both fluctuations beyond mean-field and effects of nonzero temperature. The calculated density profiles compare favorably to the measured density profiles, and illustrate the necessity to incorporate both quantum fluctuations and finite temperature effects. The temperature dependence of the density profiles, especially near the superfluid-normal interface, allows determining the temperature of the superfluid core in current experiments.
