Physical Review C

Chemical potential beyond the quasiparticle mean field

Abstract

The effects of quantal and thermal fluctuations beyond the BCS quasiparticle mean field on the chemical potential are studied within a model, which consists of $N$ particles distributed amongst $\ensuremath{\Omega}$ doubly folded equidistant levels interacting via a pairing force with parameter $G$. The results obtained at zero and finite temperatures $T$ within several approaches, which include the fluctuations beyond the BCS theory, are compared with the exact results. The chemical potential, defined as the Lagrangian multiplier to preserve the average number of particles, is compared with the corresponding quantity, which includes the effect from fluctuations of particle and quasiparticle numbers beyond the BCS quasiparticle mean field. The analysis of the results shows that the latter differs significantly from the former as functions of $G$ and $T$. The chemical potential loses its physical meaning in the system with a fixed number of particles or after eliminating quantal fluctuations of particle (quasiparticle) numbers by means of particle number projection. The validity of the criterion for the signature of the transition to Bose-Einstein condensation, which occurs in infinite systems when the chemical potential hits the bottom of the energy spectrum, is reexamined for the finite multilevel model.

Particle-number-projected thermal pairing

Nguyen Dinh Dang

Particle-number projection is applied to the modified BCS (MBCS) theory. The resulting particle-number-projected MBCS theory, taking into account the effects due to fluctuations of particle and quasiparticle numbers at finite temperature, is tested within the exactly solvable multilevel model for pairing as well as the realistic $^{120}\mathrm{Sn}$ nucleus. The signature of the pseudogap in the crossover region above the critical temperature of superfluid-normal phase transition is discussed in terms of the pairing spectral function.

Numerical calculation of finite Bose-Einstein condensation in harmonic potentials

Zhan Liu

The chemical potential and its differential coefficients as a function of temperature of an ideal system trapped in three dimensions isotropic harmonic traps with an finite number of particles were calcu- lated from the statistical theory.The results show that,there is no phase transition in a system with an finite number of particles,but the Bose-Einstein condensation occurs at a finite temperature.The critical temperatures were well defined by the minimum temperatures of the second derivative of chemical potential, which were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenology in systems with repulsive interactions

Oleh Savchuk, Y. Bondar, Oleksandr S. Stashko +4 more

The role of repulsive interactions in statistical systems of Bose particles is investigated. Three different phenomenological frameworks are considered: a mean-field model, an excluded volume model, and a model with a medium-dependent effective mass. All three models are tuned to yield similar equations of state, with only minor deviations from the ideal Bose gas at small chemical potentials. Our analysis indicates, however, that these models lead to qualitatively different results for the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenon. We discuss the different aspects of this phenomenon, namely, an onset of the Bose-Einstein condensation, particle number fluctuations, and a behavior of the Bose condensate. The obtained results can be helpful for interpreting the lattice QCD data at small temperature and large isospin chemical potential and the data on multiple pion production in high-energy nuclear collisions.

Chemical potential quantization and Bose-Einstein condensation

Zheng Jiu-ren

In this paper, first of all, we proved if the ideal Bose gas with a finite volume and number of particles has a non-degenerate single-particle energy level n, the chemical potential μ can take the value μn = n and there is a phase transition temperature Tp,n, where n = 0,1,2 Taking 0 ≤ n Tp,n+1. When the temperature T > Tp,n or T ≤ Tp,n+1, μ # n and the most probable occupation number Nn = 0. In the temperature interval Tp,n ≥ T > Tp,n+1, μ = n and 0 ≤ Nn = N - NjsupNn, where Nj is the most probable occupation number in the degenerate level j. Thus, if the finite ideal Bose gas has some non-degenerate single-particle levels, there exists a characteristic temperature Tp = Tp,0. The chemical potential μ is quantized when T ≤ Tp, and this leads to the creation of a macroscopic quantum state (pure state) or Bose-Einstein condensation phase. Tp = Tp,0 is a first-order phase transition point, Tp,n#0 is a zero-order phase transition point. Next, we obtained a new expression of the most probable distribution of the finite ideal Bose gas. In this expression Nj is directly proportional to gj - 1, where gj and Nj are, respectively, the degeneracy and the most probable occupation number in the degenerate level j. This property agrees with what chemical potential can be quantized if there is a non-degenerate level for the finite ideal Bose gas. Finally, using this expression, we defined a micro-partition function M, obtained the statistical expressions of some thermodynamical quantities.

Quantum Fluctuations and Gross-Pitaevskii Theory

S. Stringari

Abstract Using the linearized version of the time dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation, we calculate the dynamic response of a Bose–Einstein condensed gas to periodic density and particle perturbations. The zero temperature limit of the fluctuation—dissipation theorem is used to evaluate the corresponding quantum fluctuations induced by the elementary excitations in the ground state. In uniform conditions the predictions of Bogoliubov theory, including the infrared divergency of the particle distribution function and the quantum depletion of the condensate, are exactly reproduced by Gross–Pitaevskii theory. Results are also given for the crossed particle-density response function and the extension of the formalism to nonuniform systems is discussed. The generalization of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation to include beyond mean field effects is finally considered and an explicit result for the chemical potential is found, in agreement with the prediction of Lee–Huang–Yang theory.

The peculiarities of Bose-condensation of quasiparticles

A. I. Bugrij, В. М. Локтев

An attempt is made to consider the difference between the proccesses of the Bose-Einstein condensation of particles and quasiparticles. An equation for particle number of the Bose-condensate as a function of the total number of particles in the system is obtained. This equation is also written for the caseof quasiparticles with taking into account their creation by pumping and the existence ofequilibriumthermal excitations in the system. From the analysis of both these equations the chemical potential of pumped quasiparticles and their number in the condensate as a function of pumping intensity is found. It is shown that for low energy quasiparticles the proccess of Bose-condensation begins and proceeds at arbitrary temperatures high enough included.
