Stabilising Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov Superfluidity with long-range Interactions in a mixed dimensional Bose-Fermi System
arXiv:1805.11302 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.98.013624
Abstract
We analyse the stability of inhomogeneous superfluid phases in a system consisting of identical fermions confined in two layers that are immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The fermions in the two layers interact via an induced interaction mediated by the BEC, which gives rise to pairing. We present zero temperature phase diagrams varying the chemical potential difference between the two layers and the range of the induced interaction, and show that there is a large region where an inhomogeneous superfluid phase is the ground state. This region grows with increasing range of the induced interaction and it can be much larger than for a corresponding system with a short range interaction. The range of the interaction is controlled by the healing length of the BEC, which makes the present system a powerful tunable platform to stabilise inhomogeneous superfluid phases. We furthermore analyse the melting of the superfluid phases in the layers via phase fluctuations as described by the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism and show that the normal, homogeneous and inhomogeneous superfluid phases meet in a tricritical point. The superfluid density of the inhomogeneous superfluid phase is reduced by inherent gapless excitations, and we demonstrate that this leads to a significant suppression of the critical temperature as compared to the homogeneous superfluid phase.
