Phase separation in asymmetrical fermion superfluids

Condensed Matter 2014-10-13 v2 Nuclear Theory Atomic Physics

Abstract

Motivated by recent developments on cold atom traps and high density QCD we consider fermionic systems composed of two particle species with different densities. We argue that a mixed phase composed of normal and superfluid components is the energetically favored ground state. We suggest how this phase separation can be used as a probe of fermion superfluidity in atomic traps.
