The authors of a recent paper (PRA \textbf{87}, 013613 (2013)) argued that in fermionic systems with d-wave pairing the speed of sound is nonanalytic across the BCS-BEC crossover at the point where the chemical potential vanishes,…

We investigate a mix-dimensional Fermi-Fermi mixture in which one species is confined in two-dimensional(2D) space while the other is free in three-dimensional space(3D). We determine the superfluid transition temperature $T_{c}$ for the…
Dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC's), currently used to cool fermionic atoms in atom traps, can also probe the superfluidity of these fermions. The damping rate of BEC-acoustic excitations (phonon modes), measured in the middle of…
Using Landau's theory of two-fluid hydrodynamics, we investigate first and second sound propagating in a two-dimensional Bose gas. We study the temperature and interaction dependence of both sound modes and show that their behaviour…
We discuss the superfluid wave function of an atomic Fermi gas, which can be measured in an atom shot noise correlation experiment. We note that it is qualitatively different in the BCS and Bose limits and on the basis of this we propose…
We have calculated the first and second sound modes of a dilute interacting Bose gas in a spherical trap for temperatures ($0.6<T/T_{c}<1.2$) and for systems with $10^4$ to $10^8$ particles. The second sound modes (which exist only below…
