Abstract

We discuss the finite-temperature properties of low-dimensional bosons with three-body interactions described by a Feshbach-resonance-like two-channel model. In particular, by using the approximate consideration that collects ring-like Feynman diagrams for the grand potential and resembles the three-body $t$-matrix approximation, we have computed the third virial coefficient, an equation of state, and the temperature depletion of the average number of closed-channel trimers. The calculated heat capacity demonstrates a non-monotonic temperature behavior, which is unusual for a low-dimensional Bose gas.

Equation of state and contact of a strongly interacting Bose gas in the normal state

Xia-Ji Liu, Brendan C. Mulkerin, Lianyi He +1 more

We theoretically investigate the equation of state and Tan's contact of a nondegenerate three-dimensional Bose gas near a broad Feshbach resonance, within the framework of large-$N$ expansion. Our results agree with the path-integral Monte Carlo simulations in the weak-coupling limit and recover the second-order virial expansion predictions at strong interactions and high temperatures. At resonance, we find that the chemical potential and energy are significantly enhanced by the strong repulsion, while the entropy does not change significantly. With increasing temperature, the two-body contact initially increases and then decreases like ${T}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at large temperature, and therefore exhibits a peak structure at about $4{T}_{c0}$, where ${T}_{c0}$ is the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of an ideal, noninteracting Bose gas. These results may be experimentally examined with a nondegenerate unitary Bose gas, where the three-body recombination rate is substantially reduced. In particular, the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the two-body contact could be inferred from the momentum distribution measurement.

Quantum Bose and Fermi gases with large negative scattering length in the two-body S -matrix approximation

André LeClair, Edgar Marcelino de Carvalho Neto, André Nicolai +1 more

We study both Bose and Fermi gases at finite temperature and density in an approximation that sums an infinite number of many-body processes that are reducible to two-body scatterings. This is done for arbitrary negative scattering length, which interpolates between the ideal and unitary gas limits. In the unitary limit, we compute the first four virial coefficients within our approximation. The second virial coefficient is exact, and we extend the previously known result for fermions to bosons and also for both bosons and fermions for the upper branch on the other side of unitarity (infinitely large positive scattering length). Assuming bosons can exist in a metastable state before undergoing mechanical collapse, we map out the critical temperatures for strongly coupled Bose-Einstein condensation as a function of scattering length.

High-temperature limit of the resonant Fermi gas

Vudtiwat Ngampruetikorn, Meera M. Parish, Jesper Levinsen

We use the virial expansion to investigate the behavior of the two-component, attractive Fermi gas in the high-temperature limit, where the system smoothly evolves from weakly attractive fermions to weakly repulsive bosonic dimers as the short-range attraction is increased. We present a formalism for computing the virial coefficients that employs a diagrammatic approach to the grand potential and allows one to easily include an effective range ${R}^{*}$ in the interaction. In the limit where the thermal wavelength $\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\ll}{R}^{*}$, the calculation of the virial coefficients is perturbative even at unitarity and the system resembles a weakly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture for all scattering lengths $a$. By interpolating from the perturbative limits $\ensuremath{\lambda}/|a|\ensuremath{\gg}1$ and ${R}^{*}/\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\gg}1$, we estimate the value of the fourth virial coefficient at unitarity for ${R}^{*}=0$ and we find that it is close to the value obtained in recent experiments. We also derive the equations of state for the pressure, density, and entropy, as well as the spectral function at high temperatures.

Unitary boson-boson and boson-fermion mixtures: third virial coefficient and three-body parameter on a narrow Feshbach resonance

Shimpei Endo, Yvan Castin

We give exact integral expressions of the third cluster or virial coefficients of binary mixtures of ideal Bose or Fermi gases, with interspecies interactions of zero range and infinite s-wave scattering length. In general the result depends on three-body parameters Rt appearing in three-body contact conditions, because an Efimov effect is present or because the mixture is in a preefimovian regime with a mass ratio close to an Efimov effect threshold. We give a new, exact integral expression of Rt for the microscopic narrow Feshbach resonance model. A divergence of Rt in the preefimovian regime at a scaling exponent s = 1/2 is predicted and physically discussed. The analytical results are applied to typical species used in cold atom experiments.

Thermodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional Bose gas at low temperature

Giulia De Rosi, G. E. Astrakharchik, S. Stringari

We show that the chemical potential of a one-dimensional (1D) interacting Bose gas exhibits a nonmonotonic temperature dependence which is peculiar of superfluids. The effect is a direct consequence of the phononic nature of the excitation spectrum at large wavelengths exhibited by 1D Bose gases. For low temperatures $T$, we demonstrate that the coefficient in ${T}^{2}$ expansion of the chemical potential is entirely defined by the zero-temperature density dependence of the sound velocity. We calculate that coefficient along the crossover between the Bogoliubov weakly interacting gas and the Tonks-Girardeau gas of impenetrable bosons. Analytic expansions are provided in the asymptotic regimes. The theoretical predictions along the crossover are confirmed by comparison with the exactly solvable Yang-Yang model in which the finite-temperature equation of state is obtained numerically by solving Bethe-ansatz equations. A 1D ring geometry is equivalent to imposing periodic boundary conditions and arising finite-size effects are studied in detail. At $T=0$ we calculated various thermodynamic functions, including the inelastic structure factor, as a function of the number of atoms, pointing out the occurrence of important deviations from the thermodynamic limit.

Thermodynamics of the noninteracting Bose gas in a two-dimensional box

Heqiu Li, Qiujiang Guo, Ji Jiang +1 more

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a noninteracting Bose gas of N particles in a two-dimensional box with Dirichlet boundary conditions is studied. Confirming previous work, we find that BEC occurs at finite N at low temperatures T without the occurrence of a phase transition. The conventionally-defined transition temperature T(E) for an infinite three-dimensional (3D) system is shown to correspond in a 2D system with finite N to a crossover temperature between a slow and rapid increase in the fractional boson occupation N(0)/N of the ground state with decreasing T. We further show that T(E)∼1/logN at fixed area per boson, so in the thermodynamic limit there is no significant BEC in 2D at finite T. Thus, paradoxically, BEC only occurs in 2D at finite N with no phase transition associated with it. Calculations of thermodynamic properties versus T and area A are presented, including Helmholtz free energy, entropy S, pressure p, ratio of p to the energy density U/A, heat capacity at constant volume (area) C(V) and at constant pressure C(p), isothermal compressibility κ(T) and thermal expansion coefficient α(p), obtained using both the grand-canonical ensemble (GCE) and canonical ensemble (CE) formalisms. The GCE formalism gives acceptable predictions for S, p, p/(U/A), κ(T) and α(p) at large N, T and A but fails for smaller values of these three parameters for which BEC becomes significant, whereas the CE formalism gives accurate results for all thermodynamic properties of finite systems even at low T and/or A where BEC occurs.
