FFLO-Phase in Quantum Liquids, Quantum Gases, and Nuclear Matter

International Workshop
20 June - 24 June 2016

The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) effect has enjoyed a lively and wide-ranged interest during the more than 50 years since its discovery. The range of fields where it has found applications includes superconductivity, spin-imbalanced cold fermionic gases, as well as in nuclear matter.

The FFLO state describes the appearance of Cooper pairs with a finite center of mass momentum as a result of a population imbalance of the fermions forming pairs. The imbalance can result, e.g., from a spin polarization due to an external or internal magnetic field, from Feshbach resonances, or from a difference in the chemical potential of up and down quarks. The aim of the workshop is to bring together the communities working on FFLO physics in the following systems:

Topics include

  • Heavy-fermion systems
  • Neutron stars
  • Nuclear matter
  • Organic superconductors
  • Spin-imbalanced cold atomic gases
  • Spin-Peierls systems in magnetic fields
  • Superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid systems
