Abstract

The dependence of the chemical potential jump coefficient on the evaporation coefficient is analyzed for the case in which the evaporating component is a Fermi gas. The concentration of the evaporating component is assumed to be much lower than the concentration of the carrier gas. The expression for the chemical potential jump is derived from the analytic solution of the problem for the case in which the collision frequency of molecules of the evaporating component is constant.

Chemical potential jump during evaporation of Bose gases

E. A. Bedrikova, A. V. Latyshev

The dependence of the chemical potential jump coefficient on the evaporation coefficient of a binary mixture is studied in the case where the evaporating component is a Bose gas with a concentration assumed to be much lower than that of the carrier gas. An analytical solution of the problem yields an expression for the chemical potential jump for the case of a constant collision frequency of the Bose gas molecules.

Thermodynamic properties of a weakly interacting Fermi gas

Guozhen Su, Lixuan Chen, 厦门大学物理系，厦门 361005

The analytical expressions of chemical potential, total energy and heat capacity at a constant volume for a weakly interacting Fermi gas in the absence of external potential are derived by using “pseudopotential” method. Based on the derived expressions, the thermodynamic properties of a weakly interacting Fermi gas trapped in a harmonic potential are studied under the local-density approximation. The effects of interparticle interactions on the properties of the systems are discussed.

A Rigorous Approach for Calculating the Chemical Potential of an Ultrarelativistic Spherical Degenerate Fermi Gas Interacting with Nuclear Matter

M. A. Grado-Caffar, M. Grado-Caffaro

Abstract: We present an accurate analytical formulation to determine the chemical potential of an ultrarelativistic spherical degenerate Fermi gas interacting with nuclear matter by examining rigorously the three terms of the general mathematical expression for the chemical-potential energy namely, the Fermi energy, the optical-potential energy, and a third term which is negligible if the Fermi gas is dilute. In fact, we derive the above expression as a function of distance and absolute temperature. The Fermi velocity is also determined. In addition, essential aspects of the optical potential are discussed.

Temperature effects in a Fermi gas with population imbalance

Heron Caldas, A L Mota

We investigate temperature effects in a Fermi gas with imbalanced spin populations. From the general expression of the thermal gap equation we find, in weak coupling limit , an analytical expression for the transition temperature T c as a function of various possibilities of chemical potential and mass asymmetries between the two particle species. For a range of asymmetry between certain specific values, this equation always has two solutions for T c , which has been interpreted as a reentrant phenomena or a pairing induced by a temperature effect. We show that the lower T c is never related to a stable solution. The same results are obtained in the strong coupling limit . The thermodynamical potential is carefully analyzed to avoid consideration of the unstable solutions. We also obtain the tricritical points for the chemical potential and mass imbalanced cases, and beyond these points we properly minimize the thermodynamic potential to find the stable and metastable first-order transition lines.

An ideal Fermi gas under uniform gravity

Pattarapon Tanalikhit, Wittaya Kanchanapusakit

We consider an ideal Fermi gas in a container subject to a uniform gravitational field at absolute zero temperature. Under a semiclassical approximation, we examine the density profile of the particles and derive an expression for the chemical potential. A critical value of the chemical potential separates the weak- and strong-gravity regimes, and the kinetic and potential energies of the Fermi gas are determined in both regimes.
