Thermodynamics of Attractive and Repulsive Fermi Gases in Two Dimensions
  We study the attractive and repulsive two-component Fermi gas with spin imbalance in two dimensions. Using a generalized $T$-matrix approximation, we examine the thermodynamic properties of both attractive and repulsive contact interacting Fermi gases. The interaction strength, which is characterized by the bound state energy $E_b=\hbar^2/m a_{2d}^2$ in vacuum, can be adjusted through a Feshbach resonance. We calculate the interaction energy, compressibility and spin susceptibility of the two branches of the Fermi gas. For the repulsive branch, we also find a critical strength of interaction $a_{2d}^{(c)}$ above which this metastable thermodynamic state becomes unstable. This critical value depends on the temperature and the spin imbalance (the "magnetization") of the system.
