Spin Collective Modes of Two-Species Fermi Liquids: Helium-3 and Atomic Gases near the Feshbach Resonance

Abstract

We present theoretical findings on the spin collective modes of a two-species Fermi liquid, prepared alternatively in a polarized equilibrium or a polarized non-equilibrium state. We explore the effects on these modes of a diverging s-wave scattering length, as occurs near a Feshbach resonance in a Fermionic atomic gas. We compare these atomic gas modes with those of the conventional Helium-3 system, and we find that they differ from the conventional systems, and that the gap and spin stiffness are tunable via the Feshbach resonance.
