Overview:
In a fermionic superfluid, atoms move as pairs. A directed current through a tight channel is observed despite a chemical potential difference that's smaller than the pairing gap. The underlying mechanism of pair breaking of increasingly higher-order processes is illustrated in the animation.
Use Case:
Illustration for lectures and power point presentations.
Featured in articles on the websites of ETH Zürich Physics-Department and the MaNep Network.
Creative Approach:
I used custom shaders in Blender to make the atoms visually pop, combining glowing colors with a dark background for a high-tech, sci-fi feel. The channel was visualized using a rough glass shader, adding subtle distortion and depth to the scene.
