Here, we consider the properties and stability of the fermionic molecules that can be created in such a mixture near a Feshbach resonance. To do this, we consider the two-body scattering matrix in the many-body environment, and assess its complex poles. The stability properties of these molecules strongly depend on their center-of-mass motion, because they must satisfy Fermi statistics. At low center-of-mass momenta the molecules are more stable than in the absence of the environment (due to Pauli-blocking effects), while at high center-of-mass momenta nontrivial many-body effects render them somewhat less stable.}, year = {2006}, journal = {Physical Review A}, volume = {74}, pages = {012709}, month = {2006-07}, issn = {1050-2947}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevA.74.012709}, }
