Fermion pairing with population imbalance: energy landscape and phase separation in a constrained Hilbert subspace
arXiv:cond-mat/0603091
Abstract
In this Letter we map out the mean field energy potential landscape of fermion pairing states with population imbalance near broad Feshbach Resonances. We apply the landscape to investigate the nature of phase separation, when the Hilbert space is subject to the constraint of constant population imbalance. We calculate the scattering length dependence of the critical population imbalance for various phase separated states across Feshbach resonances.
