摘要:

最近在实现冷原子自旋-轨道(SO)耦合方面的实验突破引起了人们对二维SO耦合费米超流体,特别是被预言存在于零温度下的拓扑Majorana费米子(MFs)物理的极大兴趣。然而,众所周知,在有限温度下,长程超流有序在二维中被相位涨落破坏,相关的物理现象是Berezinskiii-Kosterlitz-BKT(Berezinskiii-Kosterlitz-Bronchless)转变。在这封信中,我们研究了有限温度对SO耦合费米气体的影响,并表明有限温度确实是观测MF所必需的。MF的拓扑保护的准粒子能隙被发现是远远大于温度。得到了观测磁场的参数区域的限制条件。

英文摘要:

Recent experimental breakthrough in realizing spin-orbit (SO) coupling for cold atoms has spurred considerable interest in the physics of 2D SO coupled Fermi superfluids, especially topological Majorana fermions (MFs) which were predicted to exist at zero temperature. However, it is well known that long-range superfluid order is destroyed in 2D by the phase fluctuation at finite temperature and the relevant physics is the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. In this Letter, we examine finite temperature effects on SO coupled Fermi gases and show that finite temperature is indeed necessary for the observation of MFs. MFs are topologically protected by a quasiparticle energy gap which is found to be much larger than the temperature. The restrictions to the parameter region for the observation of MFs have been obtained.
