Trapped ${}^6$Li : A high T_c superfluid ?

Abstract

We consider the effect of the indirect interaction due to the exchange of density fluctuations on the critical temperature of superfluid ${}^6$Li . We obtain the strong coupling equation giving this critical temperature. This equation is solved approximately by retaining the same set of diagrams as in the paramagnon model. We show that, near the instability threshold, the attractive interaction due to density fluctuations gives rise to a strong increase in the critical temperature, providing a clear signature of the existence of fluctuation induced interactions.
