Abstract:
We study the pairing of Fermi gases near the scattering resonance of the l not equal 0 partial wave. Using a model potential which reproduces the actual two-body low energy scattering amplitude, we have obtained an analytic solution of the gap equation. We show that the ground state of l=1 and l=3 superfluids are orbital ferromagnets with pairing wave functions Y11 and Y32, respectively. For l=2, there is a degeneracy between Y22 and a "cyclic state." Dipole energy will orient the angular momentum axis. The gap function can be determined by the angular dependence of the momentum distribution of the fermions.

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
