Abstract
It is shown by microscopic calculations for trapped imbalanced Fermi superfluids that the gap function has always sign changes, i.e., the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state like, up to a critical imbalance , beyond which normal state becomes stable, at temperature T=0. A phase diagram is constructed in vs , where the BCS state without sign change is stable only at . We reproduce the observed bimodality in the density profile to identify its origin and evaluate as functions of and the coupling strength. These dependencies match with the recent experiments.
