Fulde–Ferrell pairing instability in spin–orbit coupled Fermi gas

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: We consider finite-momentum pairing of a superfluid ultracold Fermi gas subject to spin–orbit coupling and an effective Zeeman field. Based on our two-body and mean-field many-body calculations, we show that the Fulde–Ferrell-type superfluid dominates in both zero- and finite-temperature phase diagrams. We examine the origin and properties of this novel phase systematically.
