Interparticle distance in N Boson systems

André Martin

Published Jun 15, 1990• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We find the order of magnitude of the interparticle distance in a system of N bosons interacting via a power-like two-body attractive interaction, including in particular a gravitational interaction. This can be generalized to monotonous attractive potentials, but our procedure fails for potentials of positive type

An exactly soluble Hartree problem in an external potential

J.C. Gunn, J M F Gunn

The problem of N bosons interacting with each other via repulsive delta-function interactions and with an external, attractive, delta-function potential is solved, within the Hartree approximation, exactly. If the interparticle interactions are above a certain value, there is no bound state. Thus the bound state does not just expand to compensate for the increase in the repulsive Hartree potential. Moreover as the interaction strength is increased to that value, the ground-state wavefunction develops a pole at the position of the attractive potential.

Correlation hole for an exactly solvable problem

Leon W. Cohen, C. Frishberg

Abstract The probability distribution of the interparticle distance is obtained for the N‐body boson problem where the potential is an attractive delta function. This is done for both the exact wave function and the Hartree wave function allowing the calculation of the correlation hole.

Gravitating boson systems

Richard L. Hall

We study a system composed of N identical bosons interacting in three dimensions via attractive Yukawa pair potentials V(r)=-${\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\lambda}\mathit{r}}$/r. Four approaches to the problem are related: the ``equivalent two-body method,'' translation-invariant Gaussian trial functions, collective field theory, and Hartree trial functions. Upper and lower energy bounds are given and are compared to some recent results which were obtained independently by an optimized Hartree method [M. Membrado, F. Pacheco, and J. Sa\~nudo, Phys. Rev. A 39, 4207 (1989)]. In the pure gravitational limit \ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0 the N-body energy is determined for all N and all values of the coupling with an error of less than 7.2%.

Trapped Bose gases with large positive scattering length

M Thøgersen, D. V Fedorov, A. S Jensen

We calculate the energy and the condensate fraction of a system of trapped bosons interacting via a short-range two-body potential with positive scattering length. The potential is attractive and has a two-body bound state. When the scattering length is small compared to the trap length the system is model independent: all potential models —attractive, repulsive and zero-range— provide similar results. When the scattering length is large the attractive model differs qualitatively from the repulsive and zero-range models. In this regime the system with attractive potential becomes independent of the scattering length, with both the energy and the condensate fraction converging towards finite constants.

Doping-dependent superconducting properties of two-dimensional metals with different types of interparticle coupling (Review)

В. М. Локтев, Volodymyr Turkowski

The superconducting properties of a two-dimensional metallic system with arbitrary carrier density and both local and various types of attractive indirect boson-exchange interaction in the cases of s- and d-wave pairing are analyzed and reviewed at T=0. In particular, the possibility of a crossover from the Bose–Einstein condensation regime to Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer-like superconductivity with growing carrier density and changing coupling in the case of different pairing channels is discussed. Gaussian fluctuations of the order parameter are taken into account, and the carrier density dependence of the gap magnitude is studied. The role of the form of the interparticle attractive interaction in the physical behavior of the system is also considered.
