Electron pairing and evidence of a BCS-BEC crossover in d-wave superconductors

We have demonstrated that it is possible to access a crossover scenario starting with a weak coupling (BCS) d-wave superconductor to a strongly coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) phase as the exchange interaction is tuned in a two dimensional system described by a t-J-U model via numerically solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations. While in the extreme dilute limit, the electronic pairing phenomena is independent of the Coulomb repulsion, U, the superconductivity depends on U, and so does the crossover. Further, the effect of variation in the carrier density on the BCS-BEC crossover has also been investigated. The crossover picture is illustrated by computing the chemical potential, which when falls below the noninteracting band minimum, signals the onset of a phase with tightly bound, shorter pairs. As an evidence of the above feature, the Cooper pair radius is calculated which shows a significant shortening at the emergence of a BEC-like phase. Besides, in contrast to the previous work where a crossover was claimed only in the dilute limit, we have demonstrated it at large densities near half filling.

Effect of Disorder in BCS-BEC Crossover

In this article we have investigated the effect of weak random disorder in the BCS-BEC crossover region. The disorder is included in the mean field formalism through NSR theory of superconducting fluctuations. A self consistent numerical solution of the coupled equations involving the superfluid gap parameter and density as a function of the disorder strength, albeit unaffected in the BCS phase, yields a depleted order parameter in the BEC regime and an interesting nonmonotonic behavior of the condensate fraction in the vicinity of the unitary region, and a gradual depletion thereafter, as the pairing interaction is continuously tuned across the BCS-BEC crossover. The unitary regime thus demonstrates a robust paradigm of superfluidity even when the disorder is introduced. To support the above feature and shed light on a lingering controversial issue, we have computed the behavior of the sound mode across the crossover that distinctly reveals a suppression of the sound velocity. We also find the Landau critical velocity that shows similar nonmonotonicity as that of the condensate fraction data, thereby supporting a stable superfluid scenario in the unitary limit.

Controlling Grey Solitons in a Trap

Experimentally observed grey solitons are analytically extracted from a physically viable \GP equation. Associated Lieb and Bogoliubov modes are calculated for these class of solitons. It is observed that, these nonlinear excitations have strong coupling with the trap at low momenta and hence can be effectively isolated from the Bogoliubov sound modes, which responds weakly to harmonic confinement. This strong coupling with the trap also makes the grey soliton amenable for control and manipulation through both trap modulation and temporal variation of the two-body interaction.
