Phase diagram for the trapped p-wave fermionic superfluid with population imbalance
Abstract
We consider the problem of spin-triplet p-wave superfluid pairing with total spin projection ms=0 in atomic Fermi gas across the Feshbach resonance. We allow for imbalanced populations and take into account the effects due to presence of a parabolic trapping potential. Within the mean-field approximation for the one- and two-channel pairing models we show that depending on the distance from the center of a trap at least two superfluid states will have the lowest energy. Superfluid shells which emerge in a trap may have two out of three angular components of the p-wave superfluid order parameter equal to zero.
