Shear viscosity of a universal Fermi gas near the superfluid phase transition
J. A. Joseph, E. Elliott, J. E. Thomas
We precisely measure the shear viscosity for a resonantly interacting Fermi gas as a function of temperature, from nearly the ground state through the superfluid phase transition a…
Anomalous minimum in the shear viscosity of a Fermi gas
E. Elliott, J. A. Joseph, J. E. Thomas
We measure the static shear viscosity in a two-component Fermi gas near a broad collisional (Feshbach) resonance, as a function of interaction strength and energy. We find that…
Observation of conformal symmetry breaking and scale invariance in expanding Fermi gases
E. Elliott, J. A. Joseph, J. E. Thomas
We precisely test scale invariance and local thermal equilibrium in the hydrodynamic expansion of a Fermi gas of atoms as a function of interaction strength. After release from an…
Searching for Perfect Fluids: Quantum Viscosity in a Universal Fermi Gas
C. Cao, E. Elliott, H. Wu +1
We measure the shear viscosity in a two-component Fermi gas of atoms, tuned to a broad s-wave collisional (Feshbach) resonance. At resonance, the atoms strongly interact and exhibi…
Universal Quantum Viscosity in a Unitary Fermi Gas
C. Cao, E. Elliott, J. Joseph +4
A Fermi gas of atoms with resonant interactions is predicted to obey universal hydrodynamics, where the shear viscosity and other transport coefficients are universal functions of…
