BCS-BEC crossover in a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi superfluid

Abstract

We study the crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Shrieffer (BCS) regime to the Bose-Einstein-condensation (BEC) regime in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum gas of ultracold fermionic atoms. Using an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian with renormalized interactions between atoms and dressed molecules within a Gaussian pair fluctuation theory, we investigate how Fermi superfluidity is affected by reduced dimensionality at zero temperature in a wide range of crossover. We observe that the order parameter and pair size show universal relations with the chemical potential on the BCS side, irrespective of dimensionality. However, such universal dependences break down towards the BEC limit with increasing interaction strength. This results reveal the notable effect of reduced dimenionality on pairing physics, which can also be observed in the sound velocity and convexity parameter of the Goldstone mode. We compare our results with the latest experiments in both ${}^6$Li atomic gases and layered nitrides LixZrNCl and find good agreements.
