Zeroth Sound Modes of Dilute Fermi Gas with Arbitrary Spin

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Motivated by the recent success of optical trapping of alkali bosons, we have studied the zeroth sound modes of dilute Fermi gases with arbitrary spin-f, which are spin-S excitations (0S2f0\leq S\leq 2f). The dispersion of the mode (S) depends on a single Landau parameter F(S)F^{(S)}, which is related to the scattering lengths of the system through a simple formula. Measurement of (even a subset of) these modes in finite magnetic fields will enable one to determine all the interaction parameters of the system.
