Stability properties of trapped Bose-Fermi gases mixture

Abstract

The stability of Bose-Fermi gases trapped in an isotropic potentials at ultracold temperature is strongly influenced by the interaction between the fermions and the bosons. At zero temperature, the stability criterion is given in this paper using variation method, the results show that whether a fermion-boson mixture is stable depends mainly on the interaction between the fermions and the bosons. For finite temperature, however, the stability is not only related to the coupling constants, but also to the temperature. The stability conditions for finite temperature are also derived and discuss in details in this paper.
