Counterflow in a doubly superfluid mixture of Bosons and Fermions

Abstract

In this article, we calculate the friction between two counter-flowing bosonic and fermionic super-fluids. In the limit where the boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions can be treated within the mean-field approximation, we show that the force can be related to the dynamical structure factor of the fermionic component. Finally, we provide asymptotic expressions for weakly and strongly attractive fermions and show that the damping rate obeys simple scaling laws close to the critical velocity.
