Role of Nambu-Goldstone modes in the fermionic superfluid point contact
arXiv:2003.08672 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.023340
Abstract
In fermionic superfluids that are charge neutral, Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes also known as Anderson-Bogoliubov modes emerge as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Here, we discuss DC transport properties of such NG modes through a quantum point contact. We show that contrary to a naive view that enhancement of the phase stiffness may suppress transport of the NG modes, there must be an anomalous contribution that survives at low temperature. This contribution originates from the conversion process between the condensate and NG mode. We find that within the BCS regime the anomalous contribution is enhanced with increasing channel transmittance and attractive interaction, and leads to a temperature-dependent Lorenz number and absence of the bunching effect in current noise.
