Discontinuity in the specific heat of a weakly interacting Bose gas

Abstract

We produce the discontinuity in the specific heat of a homogeneous, dilute, and weakly interacting Bose gas in a short-wavelength range with a simple statistical method. The magnitude of the discontinuity at the phase transition temperature is obtained as a function of the density and scattering length of the Bose particles.

Transition temperature of the homogeneous and dilute Bose gas in D-dimensions

Sanghoon Kim

The phase transition temperature of the homogeneous and dilute Bose gas in D-dimensions ($2 \le D \le 3$) is calculated by a mean field-based statistical method. The shift of the phase transition temperature is written up to the leading order as $ΔT_c/T_c^0 = c \gam^{\al}$, where $\gam=n^{1/3}a$. We derived Huang's result of the phase transition temperature in the generalized dimensions. We show that $ c(D)$ is positive and $\al(D)=2(D/2-1)^2$ in the short-wavelength range. The origin of the difference between $\al=1/2$ and $\al=1$ at D=3 is discussed. The $T_c$ at D=2 is calculated in the same scheme. The result is compared with Fisher and Hohenberg's KT temperature.

Dilute Bose gas in two dimensions

Daniel S. Fisher, Pierre C. Hohenberg

The weakly interacting Bose gas in two dimensions is considered in the dilute limit ${n}^{1/2}$a\ensuremath{\ll}1, where n is the particle density and a is the range of the potential. The standard many-body perturbation theory for this system has two separate divergences: the first, associated with classical phase fluctuations, is responsible for the vanishing of the long-range order; the second is quantum mechanical and is connected with the vanishing of the scattering t matrix at long wavelengths and low energies. An earlier diagrammatic theory of Popov, which provides a consistent description of the system in the dilute limit, is rederived heuristically from a quasiparticle picture, and also using the renormalization group. It is shown that the superfluid transition temperature is ${T}_{c}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}4\ensuremath{\pi}(${\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2}$/2m)n/[ln ln(1/${\mathrm{na}}^{2}$)], and the condition of validity of the dilute limit is ln ln(1/${\mathrm{na}}^{2}$)\ensuremath{\gg}1. The connection to the dilute Bose gas in dimensions d>2 and the universal behavior beyond the extreme asymptotic low-density domain are also discussed.

Finite-size scaling of the specific heat for a three-dimensional homogeneous weakly interacting Bose gas within a canonical statistics

Jian-hui Wang, Yong-li Ma

Within a canonical ensemble treatment, we study the finite-size scaling behaviour of the specific heat near the critical region for the weakly interacting Bose gases, and obtain the specific heat exponent α and correlation length exponent ν which agree well with experimental data and previous theoretical predictions. For the small and fixed interaction parameter an 1/3 with a being the scattering length and n the particle number density, we report for the first time that the dimensionless specific heats per particle c ( t , N ) for various system sizes ( L = ( N / n ) 1/3 in a square box potential) and reduced temperatures ( t = T / T c − 1) collapse onto a single form, and the borders of universality validity are obtained numerically. From scaling arguments, we study the interaction-induced shift of the transition temperature (Δ T c = T c − T 0 c ) and find that Δ T c / T 0 c = ban 1/3 with b = 0.42 ± 0.05, where T 0 c is the ideal-gas thermodynamic critical temperature. We also compare our findings with experimental and theoretical results for in cubic lattices, showing the very different behaviours for the two systems.

The Transition Temperature of the Dilute Interacting Bose Gas

Gordon Baym, Jean-Paul Blaizot, Markus Holzmann +2 more

We show that the critical temperature of a uniform dilute Bose gas increases linearly with the $s$-wave scattering length describing the repulsion between the particles. Because of infrared divergences, the magnitude of the shift cannot be obtained from perturbation theory, even in the weak coupling regime; rather, it is proportional to the size of the critical region in momentum space. By means of a self-consistent calculation of the quasiparticle spectrum at low momenta at the transition, we find an estimate of the effect in reasonable agreement with numerical simulations.

Dilute Bose gas revised

Alexander Yu. Cherny, Arkady A Shanenko

The well-known results concerning a dilute Bose gas with the short-range repulsive interaction should be reconsidered due to a thermodynamic inconsistency of the method being basic to much of the present understanding of this subject. The aim of our paper is to propose another way of treating the dilute Bose gas with an arbitrary strong interaction. Using the reduced density matrix of the second order and a variational procedure, this way allows us to escape the inconsistency mentioned and operate with singular potentials of the Lennard-Jones type. The derived expansion of the condensate depletion in powers of the boson density n=N/V reproduces the familiar result, while the expansion for the mean energy per particle is of the form epsilon=2 pi planck(2)an/m[1+128/(15 square root of [pi]) square root of [na(3)](1-5b/8a)+...], where a is the scattering length and b> or =0 stands for one more characteristic length depending on the shape of the interaction potential (in particular, for the hard spheres a=b). All the consideration concerns the zero temperature.

Theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas

Jens O. Andersen

This article reviews recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective-field-theory methods are used to formulate a systematic perturbative framework that can be used to calculate the properties of a system at $T=0.$ The perturbative expansion of these properties is essentially an expansion in the gas parameter $\sqrt{{\mathrm{na}}^{3}},$ where $a$ is the $s$-wave scattering length and $n$ is the number density. In particular, the leading quantum corrections to the ground-state energy density, the condensate depletion, and long-wavelength collective excitations are rederived in an efficient and economical manner. Nonuniversal effects are also discussed. These effects are higher-order corrections that depend on properties of the interatomic potential other than the scattering length, such as the effective range. The article critically examines various approaches to the dilute Bose gas in equilibrium at finite temperature. These include the Bogoliubov approximation, the Popov approximation, the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, the \ensuremath{\Phi}-derivable approach, optimized perturbation theory, and renormalization-group techniques. The article ends with a look at recent calculations of the critical temperature of the dilute Bose gas, which include $1/N$ techniques, lattice simulations, self-consistent calculations, and variational perturbation theory.
