Title
Finite-temperature effective field theory for dark solitons in superfluid Fermi gases
Author
Abstract
We use a finite-temperature effective field theory recently developed for superfluid Fermi gases to investigate the properties of dark solitons in these superfluids. Our approach provides an analytic solution for the dip in the order parameter and the phase profile across the soliton, which can be compared with results obtained in the framework of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. We present results in the whole range of the BCS-BEC crossover, for arbitrary temperatures and taking into account Gaussian fluctuations about the saddle point. The obtained analytic solutions yield an exact energy-momentum relation for a dark soliton showing that the soliton in a Fermi gas behaves like a classical particle even at nonzero temperatures. The spatial profile of the pair field and for the parameters of state for the soliton are analytically studied.
