We study a quasi two-dimensional superfluid Fermi gas where the confinement in the third direction is due to a strong harmonic trapping. We investigate the behavior of such a system when the chemical potential is varied and find strong…
Modern growth and fabrication techniques can produce lower dimensional structures in the crossover regime. Such structures in the crossover regime can provide tunability of various properties. For example, a zero-dimensional (0-D) structure…
The condensation of fermion pairs lies at the heart of superfluidity. However, for strongly correlated systems with reduced dimensionality the mechanisms of pairing and condensation are still not fully understood. In our experiment we use…
