The possibility of the existence of stable tetrahedral deformations at spin zero is investigated using the Skyrme-HFBCS approach and the generator coordinate method (GCM). The study is limited to nuclei in which the tetrahedral mode has been predicted to be favored on the basis of non-self-consistent models. Our results indicate that a clear identification of tetrahedral deformations is unlikely because they are strongly mixed with the axial octupole mode. However, the excitation energies related to the tetrahedral mode are systematically lower than those of the axial octupole mode in all the nuclei included in this study.

Dissipative Dynamics of Quantum Vortices in Fermionic Superfluid

Andrea Barresi, Antoine Boulet, Piotr Magierski, Gabriel Wlazlowski

Summary: In this study, the impact of quasiparticles localized inside vortices on dissipative dynamics in a fermionic superfluid was investigated through numerical simulations. The results showed that the contribution of these quasiparticles is too weak to explain the experimental measurements, and thermal effects dominated the observed dynamics.

Spin-polarized vortices with reversed circulation

Piotr Magierski, Gabriel Wlazlowski, Andrzej Makowski, Konrad Kobuszewski

Summary: This study presents the analysis of the structure of fermionic vortices with spin-polarized cores, from a weak coupling limit to the unitary regime. The mechanism for the generation of reversed circulation in the vortex core induced by an excess of majority spin particles is shown. A classification of polarized vortices based on the number of Fermi circles where the minigap vanishes is introduced. The study also analyzes the effective mass of quasiparticles along the vortex core and discusses its role in the propagation of spin-polarization along the vortex line.

Local energy density functional for superfluid Fermi gases from effective field theory

Antoine Boulet, Gabriel Wlazlowski, Piotr Magierski

Summary: In the context of density functional theory, this study proposes a method for investigating strongly correlated superfluid quantum systems by extending the local density approximation. By understanding the density dependence of quasiparticle properties, we can obtain accurate local density functionals without any adjustment. This opens up possibilities for further analysis of experimental data.

Pairing dynamics and solitonic excitations in collisions of medium-mass, identical nuclei

Summary: This study investigates the collisions of 90Zr + 90Zr and 96Zr + 96Zr using the time-dependent superfluid local density approximation (TDSLDA), revealing new features in the collisions of two superfluid nuclei near the Coulomb barrier. These features include abrupt pairing phase for capture, effective repulsion between colliding nuclei, slower evolution of deformation towards a compact shape, and dynamically enhanced pairing correlations.

Properties of a quantum vortex in neutron matter at finite temperatures

Daniel Pecak, Nicolas Chamel, Piotr Magierski, Gabriel Wlazlowski

Summary: The study systematically examines the microscopic properties of a quantum vortex in neutron matter at various temperatures and densities, utilizing 3D calculations to analyze the flow around the vortex and calculate specific heat at low temperatures. It is found that the specific heat is substantially higher in the presence of a quantum vortex, with the low temperature limit being determined by Andreev states inside the vortex core. The research suggests that vortices may exhibit spin-polarization in the crust of magnetars.

Dynamics of spin-polarized impurity in ultracold Fermi gas

Piotr Magierski, Bugra Tuzemen, Gabriel Wlazlowski

Summary: The motion of spin-polarized impurity in ultracold atomic gas is determined by a critical velocity, which correlates with the spin imbalance inside the impurity. The effective mass of the impurity in two dimensions is calculated, showing a scaling relationship with the impurity's surface area. The instability of impurities near a vortex is demonstrated as a significant impact of these findings.
