Abstract
It is shown by microscopic calculations for trapped imbalanced Fermi superfluids that the gap function always has sign changes, i.e., the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)-like state, up to a critical imbalance P(c), beyond which normal state becomes stable, at temperature T=0. A temperature-versus-pressure phase diagram is constructed, where the BCS state without sign change is stable only at T not equal to 0. We reproduce the observed bimodality in the density profile to identify its origin and evaluate P(c) as functions of T and the coupling strength. These dependencies match with the recent experiments.Year: 2006 PMID: 17025946 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.120407
