We investigate single-particle excitations at T = 0 in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a superfluid Fermi gas. We solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in a trap, including a tunable pairing interaction associated with a Feshbach resonance. We show that the single-particle energy gap E g is domin

✦ Synopsis
We investigate the superfluid carrier density q s in the BCS-BEC crossover regime of a Fermi superfluid at finite temperatures. Including pairing fluctuations within a Gaussian approximation, we calculate the superfluid order parameter, chemical potential, and q s in a consistent manner in the whole BCS-BEC crossover region. In the weak-coupling BCS regime, the temperature dependence of q s is dominated by single-particle excitations accompanied by thermal dissociation of Cooper pairs. In the strong-coupling BEC regime, we show that single-particle excitations become less dominant and thermal excitations of collective Bogoliubov mode become important for q s . We clarify how the weak-coupling BCS result smoothly changes into the strong-coupling BEC result, as one increases the strength of a pairing interaction.

The order parameter is assumed to have a layered structure with a variation along only a single direction and the Fermions are allowed to move over the full three-dimensional space.
