Abstract
The Ginzburg-Landau equation in a trapped geometry was used to define analytical estimates for the basic quantities describing a trapped superfluid Fermi gas. A striking difference to metallic superconductors was found in the temperature and system parameter dependence of the vortex core size/healing length. The results indicate that the effect of the confining geometry is essential for mesoscopic fermionic superfluids.
