I discuss ideal and interacting quantum gases obeying general fractional exclusion statistics. For systems with constant density of single-particle states, described in the mean field approximation, the entropy depends neither on the microscopic exclusion statistics, nor on the interaction. Such systems are called thermodynamically equivalent and I show that the microscopic reason for this equivalence is a one-to-one correspondence between the excited states of these systems. This provides a method, different from the bosonization technique, of transforming between systems of different exclusion statistics. In the last section the macroscopic aspects of this method are discussed. In appendix A, I calculate the fluctuation of the ground-state population of a condensed Bose gas in a grand-canonical ensemble and mean field approximation, while in appendix B I show a situation where although the system exhibits fractional exclusion properties on microscopic energy intervals, a rigorous calculation of the population of single-particle states reveals a condensation phenomenon. This also implies a malfunction of the usual and simplified calculation technique of the most probable statistical distributions.
A new distribution for systems of particles obeying statistical exclusion of correlated states is presented following the Haldane's state counting. It relies upon a conjecture to deal with the multiple exclusion that takes place when the states available to single particles are spatially correlated and it can be simultaneously excluded by more than one particle. The Haldane's statistics [F. D. M. Haldane, Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 937 (1991)] and Wu's distribution [Y.-S. Wu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 52, 2103 (1984)] are recovered in the limit of non-correlated states (constant statistical exclusion) of the multiple exclusion statistics. In addition, the exclusion spectrum function
G(n) is introduced to account for the dependence of the statistical exclusion on the occupation-number
n. Results of thermodynamics and state occupation are shown for ideal lattice gases of linear particles of size
k (
k-mers) where multiple exclusion occurs. Remarkable agreement is found with simulations from
k=2 to
10 where multiple exclusion dominates as
k increases.
The thermodynamics of two-species gases described by the Haldane exclusion statistics is investigated. I use the high-temperature perturbation to find the third Virial coefficient for the gas in an arbitrary dimension. The perturbative result indicates that the two-dimensional thermodynamic potential becomes the linear function of the element of the Haldane statistics matrix, if the matrix is symmetric and particle mass is species independent. I also present a nonperturbative method to prove this factorizable property and an exact expression of the thermodynamic potential is suggested.
We analytically calculate some thermodynamic quantities of an ideal
g-on gas obeying generalized exclusion statistics. We show that the specific heat of a
g-on gas (
g=0) vanishes linearly in any dimension as
T→0 when the particle number is conserved and exhibits an interesting dual symmetry that relates the particle-statistics at
g to the hole-statistics at
1/g at low temperatures. We derive the complete solution for the cluster coefficients
bl(g) as a function of Haldane's statistical interaction
g in
D dimensions. We also find that the cluster coefficients
bl(g) and the virial coefficients
al(g) are exactly mirror symmetric (
l=odd) or antisymmetric (
l=even) about
g=1/2. In two dimensions, we completely determine the closed forms about the cluster and the virial coefficients of the generalized exclusion statistics, which exactly agree with the virial coefficients of an anyon gas of linear energies. We show that the
g-on gas with zero chemical potential shows thermodynamic properties similar to the photon statistics. We discuss some physical implications of our results.
