Abstract

We use a time-dependent dynamical hydrodynamic model to study a collapse in a degenerate fermion-fermion mixture (DFFM) of different atoms. Due to a strong Pauli-blocking repulsion among identical spin-polarized fermions at short distances there cannot be a collapse for repulsive interspecies fermion-fermion interaction. However, there can be a collapse for a sufficiently attractive interspecies fermion-fermion interaction in a DFFM of different atoms. Using a variational analysis and numerical solution of the hydrodynamic model we study different aspects of collapse in such a DFFM initiated by a jump in the interspecies fermion-fermion interaction (scattering length) to a large negative (attractive) value using a Feshbach resonance. Suggestion for experiments of collapse in a DFFM of distinct atoms is made.
