In this paper the Galitskii–Migdal–Feynman (GMF) formalism is applied to dilute 3He-HeII mixtures. In particular, the effect of the hole-hole scattering on pairing in these systems is investigated. To this end, the relative phase shifts incorporating many-body effects based on both Brueckner–Bethe–Goldstone (BBG) and GMF formalisms are calculated. In the GMF formalism, the S-wave phase shift at zero relative momentum is –π and has a cusp at the Fermi momentum; while in the BBG formalism, this phase shift has zero values up to the Fermi momentum. From these results we conclude that hole-hole scattering plays a crucial role in any possible fermion-fermion pairing in these systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
