Abstract

Abstract The critical temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation essentially depends on internal properties of the system as well as on the geometry of a trapping potential. The peculiarities of defining the phase transition temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation for different systems are reviewed, including homogenous Bose gas, trapped Bose atoms, and bosons in optical lattices. The method of self-similar approximants, convenient for calculating critical temperature, is briefly delineated.

Bose–Einstein condensation in mesoscopic systems: The self-similar structure of the critical region and the nonequivalence of the canonical and grand canonical ensembles

Vl. V. Kocharovsky, Vl. V. Kocharovsky, Sergey V. Tarasov

The analytical theory of Bose–Einstein condensation of an ideal gas in mesoscopic systems has been briefly reviewed in application to traps with arbitrary shapes and dimension. This theory describes the phases of the classical gas and the formed Bose–Einstein condensate, as well as the entire vicinity of the phase transition point. The statistics and thermodynamics of Bose–Einstein condensation have been studied in detail, including their self-similar structure in the critical region, transition to the thermodynamic limit, effect of boundary conditions on the properties of a system, and nonequivalence of the description of Bose–Einstein condensation in different statistical ensembles. The complete classification of universality classes of Bose–Einstein condensation has been given.

Transition Temperature in One-Dimensional Bose–Einstein Condensation

Shoichi Sakamoto, Hideki Matsumoto

The phase transition of the one-dimensional Bose gas, interacting weakly with a repulsive potential and trapped in an external parabolic potential, is studied in a mean field approximation. The Bose–Einstein condensed (BEC) state is identified by the non-vanishing thermal average of a bose field. Free energies between the BEC state and normal state are compared. A crossing of the free energies occurring at low temperature suggests the first order phase transition in an interacting one-dimensional bose system. From fitting of numerical results, the relation among the transition temperature T c , the total number of bosons N and the interaction V is also provided as a simple power law, T c ∝( N 2 V ) 2/3 .

Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of a trapped interacting Bose-Fermi gas mixture

Yong-li Ma, S. T. Chui

We calculate the critical temperature of a trapped interacting Bose-Fermi gas mixture by means of a first-order perturbation method in a local-density approximation. An explicit analytical expression is derived for the dependence of the critical temperature on the numbers of bosons and fermions, the strengths of boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions, and the trapping frequencies.

Bose Einstein condensation of gases in a harmonic potential trap

M. E. Zomorrodian, رمضانعلی سبیلی

One of the most interesting properties of boson gases is that under special conditions, there is a possibility of a phase transition, in a critical temperature below which all bosons condensate into the ground state. This phenomenon is called Bose – Einstein Condensation (BEC). In this paper, we investigate BEC in a harmonic oscillator trap. We conclude that, in contrast to a free boson gas, there is no critical temperature for phase transition in a harmonic oscillator trap. However , by numerical and analytical calculation, it is possible to obtain a temperature at which the heat capacity is maximum. We call this the critical temperature . Possible explanation for all these features will be explained in this paper.

Critical temperature of Bose Einstein condensation in trapped atomic Bose Fermi mixtures

A P Albus, S Giorgini, F Illuminati +1 more

We calculate the shift in the critical temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation for a dilute Bose–Fermi mixture confined by a harmonic potential, to lowest order in both the Bose–Bose and Bose–Fermi coupling constants. The relative importance of the effect on the critical temperature of the boson–boson and boson–fermion interactions is investigated as a function of the parameters of the mixture. The possible relevance of the shift of the transition temperature in current experiments on trapped Bose–Fermi mixtures is discussed.

Critical Temperature and Ground State Fraction of a Weakly Interacting Bose Gas Trapped in a Harmonic Potential

Lixuan Chen

The critical temperature for the Bose-Einstein Condensation of an imperfect Bose gas trapped in a harmonic potential is calculated by using the local density approximation (LDA). The effects of weak interaction on the critical temperature and ground-state fraction of particles are discussed. The investigation will be helpful for the further understanding of the properties of BEC, which is called as a new kind of state of matter.
