Abstract

The general expressions of energy, heat capacity and Bose - Einstein condensation (BEC) temperature are given for an n-dimensional ideal Bose gas with a dispersion relation of , with which the possibility of occurrence of BEC can be determined. The curve of against temperature of the gas with is continuous at , while that of the gas with has a finite jump . These are two different kinds of phase transitions.

Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal Bose gas trapped in any dimension

The properties of a trapped ideal Bose gas in n -dimensional space are studied. General analytic expressions of the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation, the jump of heat capacity at and the fraction of condensation at temperatures below have been derived. How these physical quantities depend on the external potential, particle characteristics and space dimensionality are discussed. We find that when a proper external potential is taken, Bose-Einstein condensation may occur in any dimensional space.

Bose-Einstein Condensation of an Ideal Bose Gas Trapped in the Low Dimensional Space

Liu Jing-yi

By using the local density approximation, Bose-Einstein condensation of Bose gas in the low dimensional space is investigated. The results show that when a proper external potential is taken, BEC may occur in the low dimensional space. The critical temperature Tc, the ground state fraction N0/N and the behaviour (jump or not) of the heat capacity C depend on the shape of the potential.

Bose-Einstein condensation for general dispersion relations

Valdir C. Aguilera-Navarro, MANUEL DE LLANO, M. A. Solís

Bose-Einstein condensation in an ideal (i.e. interactionless) boson gas can be studied analytically, at university-level statistical and solid state physics, in any positive dimensionality ( d >0) for identical bosons with any positive-exponent ( s >0) energy-momentum (i.e. dispersion) relation. Explicit formulae with arbitrary d / s are discussed for: the critical temperature (non-zero only if d / s >1); the condensate fraction; the internal energy; and the constant-volume specific heat (found to possess a jump discontinuity only if d / s >2). Classical results are recovered at sufficiently high temperatures. Applications to `ordinary' Bose-Einstein condensation, as well as to photons, phonons, ferro- and antiferromagnetic magnons, and (very specially) to Cooper pairs in superconductivity, are mentioned.

Bose-Einstein condensation at constant pressure

Yu. M. Poluéktov

In the weakly non-ideal gas model [1], the Bose-Einstein condensation at constant pressure is considered. The temperature of transition to the state with condensate is found. Temperature dependences of the total density and condensate density, the energy, entropy and heat capacities are calculated.

BEC in Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics: Some Additional Results

Luca Salasnich

In a recent paper [Int. J. Mod. Phys. B 14, 405 (2000)] we discussed the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the framework of Tsallis’s nonextensive statistical mechanics. In particular, we studied an ideal gas of bosons in a confining harmonic potential. In this memoir we generalize our previous analysis by investigating an ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law external potential. We derive analytical formulas for the energy of the system, the BEC transition temperature and the condensed fraction. PACS numbers: 05.30-d; 03.75.Fi 1 Recently we analyzed the consequences of weak nonextensivity on Bose-Einstein Condensation for an ideal Bose gas 1 by using Tsallis’s nonextensive statistical mechanics (NSM). 2 From the nonextensive Bose-Einstein distribution 3−5 we derived the BEC transition temperature, the condensed fraction and the energy per particle in three different cases: the homogeneous gas, the gas in a harmonic trap and the relativistic homogenous gas. In this short contribution we generalize our previous results by considering the ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law potential. All the calculations are performed by assuming a D-dimensional space. The NSM predicts that, for an ideal quantum gas of identical bosons in the grand canonical ensemble, the weak nonextensivity formula of the average number of particles with energy ǫ is given by 〈n(ǫ)〉q = 1

Bose–Einstein Condensation of Ideal Bose Gases

Jun’ichi Ieda, Takeya Tsurumi, Miki Wadati

Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) is studied for ideal boson gases with a wide class of the dispersion relations. A criterion of the BEC, the transition temperature and a fraction of the condensate are calculated under the appropriate thermodynamic limits. The correspondence between the dispersion relation (spectrum) and the trap potential is shown. This gives the criterion for the trap shape and the dimensionality of the system.
