Abstract
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.
