Abstract

We theoretically calculate the dynamic structure factor of two-dimensional Rashba-type spinorbit coupled (SOC) Fermi superfluid with random phase approximation, and analyse the main characters of dynamical excitation sh own by both density and spin dynamic structure factor during a continuous phase transition between Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid and topological superfluid. Generally we find three different excitations, including collective phonon excitation, two-atom molecular and atomic excitations, and pair-breaking excitations due to two-branch structure of quasi-particle spectrum. It should be emphasized that collective phonon excitation is overlapped with a gapless DD type pair-breaking excitation at the critical Zeeman field hc, and is imparted a finite width to phonon peak when transferred momentum q is around Fermi vector kF. At a much larger transferred momentum (q = 4kF ), the pair-breaking excitation happens earlier than two-atom molecular excitation, which is different from the conventional Fermi superfluid without SOC effect.
