Superfluidity of p-wave and s-wave atomic Fermi gases in optical lattices

We consider p-wave pairing of single hyperfine state and s-wave pairing of two hyperfine states ultracold atomic gases trapped in quasi-two-dimensional optical lattices. First, we analyze superfluid properties of p-wave and s-wave symmetries in the strictly weak coupling BCS regime where we discuss the order parameter, chemical potential, critical temperature, atomic compressibility, and superfluid density as a function of filling factor for tetragonal and orthorhombic optical lattices. Second, we analyze superfluid properties of p-wave and s-wave superfluids in the evolution from the BCS to Bose-Einstein condensation regimes at low temperatures (T{approx_equal}0), where we discuss the changes in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum, chemical potential, atomic compressibility, Cooper pair size, and momentum distribution as a function of filling factor and interaction strength for tetragonal and orthorhombic optical lattices.
