Abstract

Inspired by the renewed experimental activities on pp-wave resonantly interacting atomic Fermi gases, we theoretically investigate some experimental observables of such systems at zero temperature in two dimensions, using both mean-field theory and Gaussian pair fluctuation theory. These observables include the two pp-wave contact parameters and the breathing mode frequency, which can be readily measured in current cold-atom setups with 40^{40}K and 6^{6}Li atoms. We find that the many-body component of the two contact parameters exhibits a pronounced peak slightly above the resonance and consequently leads to a dip in the breathing mode frequency. In the resonance limit, we discuss the dependence of the equation of state and the breathing mode frequency on the dimensionless effective range of the interaction, kFRp1k_{F}R_{p}\ll1, where kFk_{F} is the Fermi wavevector and RpR_{p} is the effective range. The breathing mode frequency ωB\omega_{B} deviates from the scale-invariant prediction of ωc=2ω0\omega_{c}=2\omega_{0}, where ω0\omega_{0} is the trapping frequency of the harmonic potential. This frequency shift is caused by the necessary existence of the effective range. In the small range limit, we predict that the mode frequency deviation at the leading order is given by, δωB(ω0/4)ln1(kFRp)\delta\omega_{B}\simeq-(\omega_{0}/4)\ln^{-1}(k_{F}R_{p}).
