Local density distribution of confined fermi gas in various nano-scale geometries

Coşkun Fırat

Abstract This study aims to investigate local density variations of Fermi gases confined in various geometries at the nano-scale, revealing irregularities even in thermodynamic equilibrium. Calculations show that density of the confined gas in a nano scale domain, decreases towards zero near domain boundaries due to a quantum boundary layer linked to the Planck constant. Additionally, Friedel-like density oscillations are observed in nano-confined Fermi gases. Analytical expressions for the local density distribution are derived for degenerate and one-dimensional scenarios, while numerical computations are conducted for complex geometries and weak degeneracy conditions. In line with existing literature, it is understood that the quantum-size effects observed in the global thermodynamic properties of confined gases are attributed to these local irregularities. It becomes evident that in areas smaller than the threshold determined by the quantum boundary layer, the gas empties the part of the domain or reaches lower densities in the considered part relative to other parts of the domain, despite being in thermodynamic equilibrium. The results indicate the potential for gases to benefit from these behaviors and suggest the possibility of designing and manufacturing new nano-scale machines that are not feasible on a macro-scale.

The Anomalous Behaviour of Fermions in a Thin Wire

B. G. Sidharth

Motivated by the recent development of insulated nano-tubes and the attempts to develop conducting nano wires in such tubes, we examine the Fermionic behaviour in extremely thin wires. Although the one- dimensional problem has been studied in detail over the years, it is an extreme idealization: We consider the more realistic scenario of thin wires which are nevertheless three dimensional. We show that the assembly of Fermions behaves as if it is below the Fermi temperature, and in the limit of one dimension, in the ground state as well. Thus there are indeed Bosonization features. These conclusions are checked from an independent stand point.

Interacting quantum gases in confined space: Two- and three-dimensional equations of state

Wu-Sheng Dai, Mi Xie

In this paper, we calculate the equations of state and the thermodynamic quantities for two- and three-dimensional hard-sphere Bose and Fermi gases in finite-size containers. The approach we used to deal with interacting gases is to convert the effect of interparticle hard-sphere interaction to a kind of boundary effect, and then the problem of a confined hard-sphere quantum gas is converted to the problem of a confined ideal quantum gas with a complex boundary. For this purpose, we first develop an approach for calculating the boundary effect on d-dimensional ideal quantum gases and then calculate the equation of state for confined quantum hard-sphere gases. The thermodynamic quantities and their low-temperature and high-density expansions are also given. In higher-order contributions, there are cross terms involving both the influences of the boundary and of the interparticle interaction. We compare the effect of the boundary and the effect of the interparticle interaction. Our result shows that, at low temperatures and high densities, the ratios of the effect of the boundary to the effect of the interparticle interaction in two dimensions are essentially different to those in three dimensions: in two dimensions, the ratios for Bose systems and for Fermi systems are the same and are independent of temperatures, while in three dimensions, the ratio for Bose systems depends on temperatures, but the ratio for Fermi systems is independent of temperatures. Moreover, for three-dimensional Fermi cases, compared with the contributions from the boundary, the contributions from the interparticle interaction to entropies and specific heats are negligible.
