We show that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) gives rise to pairing instability in a highly polarized two-dimensional Fermi gas for arbitrary interaction strength. The pairing instability can lead to a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-like…
We consider a two-component Fermi gas interacting via a Feshbach molecular state. It is shown that an important energy scale is $E_g=g^4m^3/(64\pi^2)$ where $g$ is the Feshbach coupling constant and $m$ the mass of the particles. Only when…
