Born-Green-Yvon equations for strongly interacting Fermi systems

A subset of the Fermi-Born-Green-Yvon equations for extended Fermi systems is investigated numerically. We present results for nuclear matter, neutron matter, and normal liquid³He at zero temperature. A comparison with the (alternative) Fermi-Hypernetted-Chain theory demonstrates the Fermi-Born-Green-Yvon equations to be of comparable accuracy.     

On quantum kinetic equation for hierarchic systems

The energy dissipation in a gas of structured objects, e.g. molecules, is considered. It is shown that the macroscopic irreversibility of the kinetic processes can be considered as a consequence of the microscopic operator ordering. Our approach is free of any special assumptions on the space-time geometry, except for the general region causality assumptions [J.C. Christensen, L. Crane, J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005) 122502], it can be applied to a wide variety of processes, from the cosmological processes at Big Bang stage till the energy dissipation in molecular gases.     

Quantum kinetic equation for nonequilibrium dense systems

Using the density matrix method in the form developed by Zubarev, equations of motion for nonequilibrium quantum systems with continuous short range interactions are derived which describe kinetic and hydrodynamic processes in a consistent way. The T-matrix as well as the two-particle density matrix determining the nonequilibrium collision integral are obtained in the ladder approximation including the Hartree-Fock corrections and the Pauli blocking for intermediate states. It is shown that in this approximation the total energy is conserved. The developed approach to the kinetic theory of dense quantum systems is able to reproduce the virial corrections consistent with the generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck approximation in equilibrium. The contribution of many-particle correlations to the drift term in the quantum kinetic equation for dense systems is discussed.     

Bifurcation methods of dynamical systems for generalized Kadomtsov-Petviashvili-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation

By applying the bifurcation theory of dynamical system to the generalized KP-BBM equation, the phase portraits of the travelling wave system are obtained. It can be shown that singular straight line in the travelling wave system is the reason why smooth periodic waves converge to periodic cusp waves. Under different parametric conditions, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions are given. Some exact explicit parametric representations of the above waves are obtained.      

Nonlocal corrections to the Boltzmann equation for dense Fermi systems

A kinetic equation which combines the quasiparticle drift of Landau's equation with a dissipation governed by a nonlocal and noninstant scattering integral in the spirit of Snider's equation for gases is derived. Consequent balance equations for the density, momentum and energy include quasiparticle contributions and the second-order quantum virial corrections. The medium effects on binary collisions are shown to mediate the latent heat, i.e. an energy conversion between correlation and thermal energy. An implementation to heavy ion collisions is discussed.     

Microscopic derivation of kinetic equations for interacting optical two-level systems

Kinetic equations are derived for optical two-level atoms interacting with a molecular subsystem treated as a thermostat. It is assumed that the kinetics is determined by the electric dipole interaction perturbed by the thermal motion. Dynamic parts of the kinetic equations coincide with the corresponding terms of optical Bloch equations, whereas nonlinear relaxation and shift terms have the specific form and are absent in the phenomenological generalized Bloch equations. It is shown that the relaxation kinetics can be substantially different from the exponential one and depends on the initial state of the system. In particular, the inversion relaxation is frozen at small deviations from the equilibrium. The possibility of observation of the optical bistability is discussed.     

Rearrangements of interacting Fermi liquids

The stability condition of the Landau Fermi liquid theory may be broken when the interaction between particles is strong enough. In this case, the ground state is reconstructed to have a particle distribution different from the Fermi-step function. For specific instances, one case with the vector boson exchange and another with the relativistic heavy-ion collision are taken into consideration. With the vector boson exchange, we find that the relative weak interaction strength can lead to the ground-state rearrangement as long as the fermion mass is large enough. It is found that the relativistic heavy-ion collision may also cause the ground-state rearrangement, affecting the statistics of the collision system.     

Stochastic solution of the Schrödinger equation for finite Fermi systems

We apply the Green function Monte Carlo method to model ground states for the atomic nucleus ¹⁶O and for a droplet of eight ⁴He atoms assumed to obey Fermi statistics. Ground-state properties of the two systems are obtained by means of projection onto antisymmetric trial functions. The Monte Carlo process is stabilized by allowing the generation size to grow sufficiently fast. The variational method using refined backflow Jastrow-Slater wave functions is shown to be reasonably accurate.     

Evidence for superfluidity in a resonantly interacting Fermi gas

We observe collective oscillations of a trapped, degenerate Fermi gas of 6Li atoms at a magnetic field just above a Feshbach resonance, where the two-body physics does not support a bound state. The gas exhibits a radial breathing mode at a frequency of 2837(05) Hz, in excellent agreement with the frequency of nu(H) identical with sqrt[10nu(x)nu(y)/3]=2830(20) Hz predicted for a hydrodynamic Fermi gas with unitarity-limited interactions. The measured damping times and frequencies are inconsistent with predictions for both the collisionless mean field regime and for collisional hydrodynamics. These observations provide the first evidence for superfluid hydrodynamics in a resonantly interacting Fermi gas.     

General kinetic equation and irreversibility in statistical systems

General kinetic equation for statistical systems is presented. A kinetic equation with source that is fluctuation of physical values was obtained. A new statistical criterion of systems evolution was determined. Nonequilibrium statistical and variational derivations of general kinetic equations are considered. Evolution of nonequilibrium Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy, Hamilton function and Hamilton function production are examined.     

Hydrodynamic effects in interacting Fermi electron jets

We theoretically study hydrodynamic phenomena originating from electron-electron collisions in a two-dimensional Fermi system. We demonstrate that an electron beam sweeping past an aperture creates a pumping effect, attracting carriers from this aperture. This pumping effect originates from the specific electric potential distribution induced by the injected electrons. In the regions near the main stream of injected electrons, a positive potential is induced by the injected electrons. Thus, the normally repulsive Coulomb interaction leads to an attractive force in the Fermi system. This quantum pumping mechanism in a Fermi system differs qualitatively from the Bernoulli pumping effect in classical liquids. We also discuss possible experimental realizations.     

Strongly interacting Fermi gases with density imbalance

We consider density-imbalanced Fermi gases of atoms in the strongly interacting, i.e., unitarity, regime. The Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for a trapped superfluid are solved. They take into account the finite size of the system, as well as give rise to both phase separation and Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-type oscillations in the order parameter. We show how radio-frequency spectroscopy reflects the phase separation, and can provide direct evidence of the FFLO-type oscillations via observing the nodes of the order parameter.

Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism for Fermi classical systems

The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism of fermionic classical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom is considered. The Weyl correspondence is studied by computing the relevant Stratonovich-Weyl quantizer. The Moyal -product, Wigner functions and normal ordering are obtained for generic fermionic systems. Finally, this formalism is used to perform the deformation quantization of the Fermi oscillator and the supersymmetric quantum mechanics.     

Clock shift in a strongly interacting two-dimensional Fermi gas

We derive universal relations for the rf spectroscopy of a two-dimensional Fermi gas consisting of two spin states interacting through an S-wave scattering length. The rf transition rate has a high-frequency tail that is proportional to the contact and displays logarithmic scaling violations, decreasing asymptotically like 1/(ω2ln2ω). Its coefficient is proportional to ln2'(a'(2D)/a(2D)), where a(2D) and a'(2D) are the two-dimensional scattering lengths associated with initial-state and final-state interactions. The clock shift is proportional to the contact and to ln(a'(2D)/a(2D)). If |ln(a'(2D)/a(2D))| > 1, the clock shift arises as a cancellation between much larger contributions proportional to ln2(a'(2D)/a(2D)) from bound-bound and bound-free rf transitions.     

Non-steady state homogeneous nucleation in glass-forming systems: Dimensionless kinetic equation

The kinetic equation of the classical homogeneous nucleation theory is rewritten in dimensionless form and it is shown that the numerical computation of the dimensionless kinetic equation is approximately 20 times faster in comparison with the original kinetic equation. The results are compared with known analytical results and with previous numerical results in the case of the constant and variable temperature for the model Li₂O.2 SiO₂ melt. It is shown, e.g., that under non-isothermal conditions the nucleation rate is greater than the quasistationary nucleation rate and the cluster distribution function is greater than the corresponding quasiequilibrium cluster distribution function.
