Three-dimensional correlated-fermion phase separation from analysis of the geometric mean of the individual susceptibilities

Abstract

A quasi-Gaussian approximation scheme is formulated to study the strongly correlated imbalanced Fermions thermodynamics, where the mean-field theory is not applicable. The non-Gaussian correlation effects are understood to be captured by the statistical geometric mean of the individual susceptibilities. In the three-dimensional unitary fermions ground state, a universal nonlinear scaling transformation relates the physical chemical potentials with the individual Fermi kinetic energies. For the partial polarization phase separation to full polarization, the calculated critical polarization ratio is δC = [1−(1−ξ)6/5]/[1+(1−ξ)6/5] ≐ 0.34. ξ = 4/9 gives the ratio of the symmetric ground state energy density to that of the ideal fermion gas.
