A dilute atomic-molecular fermion in a trap acquires a rather complex layered spatial structure. At very low temperatures, typically at the center of the trap, a superfluid bosonic core is formed out of dimers, weakly bound pairs of…

For small scattering lengths, cold bosonic atoms form a condensate the density profile of which is smooth. With increasing scattering length, the density {\it gradually} acquires more and more oscillations. Finally, the number of…
