โœฆ Synopsis

We study the extended Thomas-Fermi (ETF) density functional of the superfluid unitary Fermi gas. This functional includes a gradient term which is essential to describe accurately the surface effects of the system, in particular with a small number of atoms, where the Thomas-Fermi (local density) approximation fails. We find that our ETF functional gives density profiles which are in good agreement with recent Monte Carlo results and also with a more sophisticated superfluid density functional based on Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. In addition, by using extended hydrodynamics equations of superfluids, we calculate the frequencies of collective surface oscillations of the unitary Fermi gas, showing that quadrupole and octupole modes strongly depend on the number of trapped atoms. n (r ) 0.5 0 1.0 1.5 3 2 1 0 r ETF SLDA FNDMC Density profile n(r) of the unitary Fermi gas with 20 atoms under harmonic confinement.

We investigate a density-functional theory (DFT) approach for an unpolarized trapped dilute Fermi gas in the unitary limit. A reformulation of the recent work of T.

Ab-initio calculations within density functional theory are performed to obtain a more systematic understanding of the electronic structure of iron pnictides. As a prototypical compound we study Ba0.5K0.5Fe2As2 and analyze the changes of its electronic structure when the interaction between the Fe2A
