We show that the behaviour of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconductors near a surface is considerably different from the usual case. The order parameter of the FF state is strongly deformed near the surface, which leads…

In ultracold Fermi gases, the effect of spin-imbalance on superfluidity has been the subject of intense study. One of the reasons for this is that spin-imbalance frustrates the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid pairing mechanism,…
