Radio Frequency Response of the Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases at Finite Temperatures

Original · EN

The radio frequency spectrum of the fermions in the unitary limit at finite temperatures is characterized by the sum rule relations. We consider a simple picture where the atoms are removed by radio frequency excitations from the strongly interacting states into a state of negligible interaction. We calculate the moments of the response function in the range of temperature 0.08 εF < T < 0.8 εF using auxiliary field Monte Carlo technique (AFMC) in which continuum auxiliary fields with a density dependent shift are used. We estimate the effects of superfluid pairing from the clock shift. We find a qualitative agreement with the pairing gap - pseudogap transition behavior. We also find within the quasiparticle picture that in order for the gap to come into quantitative agreement with the previously known value at T=0, the effective mass has to be m* 1.43 m. Finally, we discuss implications for the adiabatic sweep of the resonant magnetic field.
