Core structure of two-dimensional Fermi gas vortices in the BEC-BCS crossover region
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We report $T=0$ diffusion Monte Carlo results for the ground-state and vortex excitation of unpolarized spin-1/2 fermions in a two-dimensional disk. We investigate how vortex core structure properties behave over the BEC-BCS crossover. We calculate the vortex excitation energy, density profiles, and vortex core properties related to the current. We find a density suppression at the vortex core on the BCS side of the crossover, and a depleted core on the BEC limit. Size-effect dependencies in the disk geometry were carefully studied.
