We map out the phase diagram of a dilute two-component atomic fermion gas with unequal populations and masses under a Feshbach resonance. As in the case of equal masses, no uniform phase is stable for an intermediate coupling regime. For…
We consider pairing of itinerant fermions in a metal near a quantum-critical point (QCP) towards some form of particle-hole order (nematic, spin-density-wave, charge-density-wave, etc). At a QCP, the dominant interaction between fermions…

Fermionic superfluids can undergo phase transitions into different kinds of normal regimes, loosely characterized by whether Cooper pairs remain locally stable. If the normal phase retains strong pairing fluctuations, it behaves like a…
