Vortex properties of a resonant superfluid

  • 1. School of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871 (China)

Description

The properties of a vortex in a rotating superfluid Fermi gas are studied in the unitary limit. A phenomenological approach based on Ginzburg-Landau theory is developed for this purpose. The density profiles, including those of the normal fluid and superfluid, are obtained at various temperatures and rotation frequencies. The superfluid and normal fluid densities can be identified from the angular momentum density. The total free energy and angular momentum of the vortex are also obtained
