Superfluid pairing in a mixture of a spin-polarized Fermi gas and a dipolar condensate

A mixture of a spin-polarized Fermi gas and a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate is considered in which s-wave scattering between fermions and the quasiparticles of the dipolar condensate can result in an effective attractive Fermi-Fermi interaction long-range and anisotropic in nature and tunable by the dipolar interaction. It is shown that such an interaction can significantly increase the prospect of realizing a superfluid with a gap parameter characterized with a coherent superposition of all odd partial waves. In the spirit of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field approach, a theory is formulated that allows the estimation of the critical temperature when the anisotropic Fock potential is taken into consideration and the determination of the system parameters that optimize the critical temperature at which such a superfluid emerges before the system begins to phase separate.
