title: Role of the Majorana fermion and the edge mode in chiral superfluidity near a p-wave Feshbach resonance.
abstract: The visualization of chiral p-wave superfluidity in Fermi gases near p-wave Feshbach resonances is theoretically examined. It is proposed that the superfluidity becomes detectable in the entire BCS-BEC regimes through (i) vortex visualization by the density depletion inside the vortex core and (ii) intrinsic angular momentum in vortex-free states. It is revealed that both (i) and (ii) are closely connected with the Majorana zero energy mode of the vortex core and the edge mode, which survive until the strong coupling BCS regime is approached from the weak coupling limit and vanish in the Bose-Einstein condensation regime.
