A Cold Atomic Fermi Gas with a Spatially Modulated Interaction
Abstract
We study an ultra-cold atomic Fermi Gas with the atom-atom interaction modulated periodically in space. A novel ground state with cooper pairs occupying non-zero center of mass momenta is found. Such a state is closely related to the state proposed by Fulde, Ferrell, Larkin, and Ovchinnikov(FFLO). The resultant single particle excitations with momenta along the direction of the modulation shows multiple-gap structures. Such a system can be realized in experiment with a spatially modulated Feshbach resonance. Experimental signatures of such a state are discussed.
