The Josephson relation for the superfluid density in the BCS-BEC crossover

Other Condensed Matter 2008-12-12 v2

Abstract

The Josephson relation for the superfluid density is derived for a Fermi superfluid in the BCS-BEC crossover. This identity extends the original Josephson relation for Bose superfluids. It gives a simple exact relation between the superfluid density ρs\rho_s and the broken-symmetry Cooper pair order parameter Δ0\Delta_0 in terms of the infrared limit of the pair fluctuation propagator. The same expression holds through the entire BCS-BEC crossover, describing the superfluid density of a weak-coupling BCS superfluid as well as the superfluid density of a Bose condensate of dimer molecules.
