Influence of asymmetry on superfluidity of nuclear matter with triplet-singlet pairing of nucleons (in spin and
isospin spaces) is considered within the framework of a Fermi-liquid theory. Solutions of self-consistent equations
for the energy gap at 0=T are obtained. It is shown, that if the chemical potentials of protons and neutrons are de-
termined in the zero gap width approximation, then the energy gap for some values of density and asymmetry param-
eter of nuclear matter demonstrates double-valued behavior. However, with account for the feedback of pairing cor-
relations through the normal distribution functions of nucleons two-valued behavior of the energy gap turns into uni-
versal one-valued behavior. At 0=T the energy gap has a discontinuities as a function of density in a narrow layer
model. These discontinuities depend on the asymmetry parameter.

1. GENERAL EQUATIONS OF THE THE-
ORY
It is well established, that neutron-proton (np) pair-
ing plays an essential role in description of superfluidity
of finite nuclei with N=Z (see Ref. [1] and references
therein) and symmetric nuclear matter [2-4]. In this re-
port we shall investigate influence of asymmetry on np
superfluidity of nuclear matter. Earlier this problem was
treated with the use of various approaches and potentials
of NN interaction. In particular, the cases of 3S1-3D1 and
3D2 pairing were considered in Refs. [2,5] on the base of
the Thouless criterion for the thermodynamic T matrix.
As a potential of NN interaction, the Graz II and Paris
potential were chosen respectively. Superfluidity in 3S1-
3D1 pairing channel was studied also in Ref. [6] within
BCS theory of superconductivity with the use of the
Paris potential in the separable form. Investigations,
based on the Thouless criterion, deduce the suppression
of np pairing correlations with increase of isospin asym-
metry. However, the Thouless criterion can be exploited
for finding the critical temperature only, but does not
permit to draw any conclusions about superfluidity with
a finite gap. The studies in Ref. [6], based on the BCS
theory, were carried out with the use of the bare interac-
tion and the single particle spectrum of a free Fermi gas
and give, thus, overestimated values of the energy gap.
The effect of ladder-renormalized single particle spec-
trum on the magnitude of the energy gap in 3S1-3D1 pair-
ing channel was investigated in Ref. [7]. The Argonne
V14 potential was explored as input for determination of
the single particle energy and the bare interaction in the
form of the Paris potential was used to evaluate the ener-
gy gap. The use of the bare interaction in the gap equa-
tion seems to be a very strong simplification, because
medium polarization strongly reduces the magnitude of
the gap. In principle, the effective pairing interaction
should be obtained by means of Brueckner renormaliza-
tion, which gives the correct interaction after modifying
the bare interaction for the effect of nuclear medium.
However, the issue of microscopic many-body calcula-
tion of the effective pairing potential is a complex one
and still is not solved. For this reason, it is quite natural
step to develop some kind of a phenomenological theo-
ry, where instead of microscopical calculation of the
pairing interaction one exploits the phenomenological
effective interaction. We shall investigate influence of
asymmetry on superfluid properties of nuclear matter,
using Landau's semiphenomenological theory of a Fer-
mi-liquid (FL). In the Fermi-liquid model the normal
and anomalous FL interaction amplitudes are taken into
account on an equal footing. This will allow us to con-
sider consistently influence of the FL amplitudes on su-
perfluid properties of nuclear matter. Besides, as a po-
tential of NN interaction we choose the Skyrme effec-
tive forces, describing interaction of two nucleons in the
presence of nucleon medium. The Skyrme forces are
widely used in description of nuclear system properties
and, in particular, they were exploited for description of
superfluid properties of finite nuclei [8,9] as well as infi-
nite symmetric nuclear matter [10-12].
The basic formalism is laid out in more detail in Ref.
[11], where superfluidity of symmetric nuclear matter
was studied. As shown there, superfluidity with triplet-
singlet (TS) pairing of nucleons (total spin S and isospin
T of a pair are equal 1=S , 0=T ) is realized near the
saturation density in symmetric nuclear matter with the
Skyrme interaction. Therefore, further we shall study in-
fluence of asymmetry on superfluid properties of TS
phase of nuclear matter. For the states with the projec-
tions of total spin and isospin 0== zz TS , the normal
distribution function f and the anomalous distribution
function g have the form

has to set the energy functional ),( gfE of the system.
In the case of asymmetric nuclear matter with TS pairing
of nucleons the energy functional is characterized by
two normal 20 ,UU and one anomalous 1V FL ampli-
tudes [11]. Differentiating the functional E(f,g) with re-
spect to g [13] and using Eq. (5), one can obtain the gap

We write now the self-consistent equations for deter-

at 0=T . Considering, that the interaction amplitude 1V
is not equal to zero only in a narrow layer near the Fer-
mi-surface, 000 θξ ≤ (we shall set 000 1.0 µθ = ) and en-

)1sinh(/ gθ=∆ . Eqs. (14)-(16) can be solved in two
approximations: when one disregards by the dependence
from ∆ in chemical potentials 0300 , µµ and when this
dependence is taken into account exactly. First, we con-
sider the former case. Using Eqs. (15,16), it is easy to
see that the quantity ϕ in the main approximation on
the ratio Fε/∆ and 1< <α reads

For the densities where θλ <∆ c , we have 0≡∆ . Thus,
in the zero gap size approximation in chemical poten-
tials we have two solutions for the energy gap: one solu-
tion corresponds to BCS solution at c∆≥∆ and the sec-
ond one is described by Eq. (18).
Now we present the results of numerical integration
of the gap equation for the given case (Fig. 1).
In the case of symmetric nuclear matter ( 0=α ) we
obtain the phase curve with one-valued behavior of the
gap. For small values of asymmetry α there exist such
regions of large and low densities of nuclear matter (ex-
cluding some vicinity of the point 0=ρ ), for which we
have two values of the energy gap, where one of these
values is the solution of the BCS type and practically co-
incides with the corresponding value of the gap for the
case 0=α . When α increases, these regions begin to
approach and at some value cαα = it takes place conti-
guity of the regions with two solutions. For cαα > two
branches of the phase curves are separated

contract to a point. The value mα determines the maxi-

To find this value, let us denote as λ the mini-

Let us find now the solutions of Eqs. (14-16) with
account for the influence of the finite size of the gap on
the chemical potentials µ00, µ03. Calculations show, that
in self-consistent treatment of Eqs. (14-16) it will be re-
alized only the case 0222 <γ∆−ϕ , and, hence, we
have only solution of the BCS type. Since
0222 <γ∆−ϕ , Eq. (16) will have nontrivial solu-
tion for the chemical potential 03µ , if the roots

Fig. 3. Energy gap as a function of density in self-con-
sistent scheme
Here the dashed lines are drawn through the boundary
points of the curves, being the solutions of Eqs. (14-16)
for different α . One can see, that taking into account
the feedback of the finite size of the gap through the
normal distribution functions 0300 , ff in Eqs. (3,4),
leads to the qualitative change: instead of two-valued
behavior of the gap we have universal one-valued be-
81
havior. The first solution of the BCS type, obtained in
uncoupled calculation, remains practically unchanged in
self-consistent treatment of the gap equation (14) and
with sufficiently high accuracy equals to its value in the
self-consistent determination. The second solution in un-
coupled scheme, to which corresponds the smaller gap
width, tends to the first solution of the BCS type under
simultaneous iterations of Eqs. (14,16). Taking into ac-
count the finiteness of the gap results in reduction of the
threshold asymmetry, at which superfluidity disappears,
to the value 03.0≈mα . Thus, in spite of the smallness
of the ratio Fε∆ for all densities ρ , the backward in-
fluence of pairing correlations is significant. This is ex-
plained by the fact, that if the quantity ∆ in Eqs. (15,16)
differs from zero, then the absolute value of the chemi-
cal potential 03µ increases a few times as against its
value at 0=∆ . The increase of 03µ is equivalent to
the increase of the effective shift between neutron and
proton Fermi surfaces that leads to significant reduction
of the threshold asymmetry. Note, that in a narrow layer
model the gap is everywhere finite as a function of den-
sity.
In summary, we studied TS superfluidity of asym-
metric nuclear matter in FL model with density-depen-
dent Skyrme effective interaction (SkP force). In FL ap-
proach the normal and anomalous FL amplitudes are
taken into account on an equal footing and this allows to
consider consistently within the framework of a phe-
nomenological theory the influence of medium effects
on superfluid properties of nuclear matter. It is shown,
that in the case, when the chemical potentials 0300 , µµ
(half of a sum and half of a difference of the proton and
neutron chemical potentials, respectively) are deter-
mined in the approximation of ideal Fermi-gas, the ener-
gy gap demonstrates for some values of density and
asymmetry parameter the double-valued behavior. If to
consider the feedback of pairing correlations through the
dependence of the normal distribution functions of nu-
cleons from the energy gap, then the energy gap drasti-
cally changes its behavior from two-valued to universal
one-valued character. In spite of relative smallness of
the ratio Fε∆ , taking into account of the finite size of
the gap in chemical potentials leads to the significant in-
crease of absolute value of 03µ and, hence, to consider-
able reduction of the threshold asymmetry, at which su-
perfluidity at T=0 disappears. In self-consistent determi-
nation the energy gap at T=0 as a function of density has
a finite width. Among the other problems we note here
the study of multi-gap superfluidity [12] in asymmetric
nuclear matter.
