Statistical mechanics of the magnetized planar Bose gas

John Daicic, Norman E. Frankel

Published Feb 1, 1997• 17 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We study the planar (two-dimensional) nonrelativistic Bose gas in a homogeneous magnetic field, using the technique of the Mellin integral transform, yielding complete expansions in the limit of weak fields. We then employ these to investigate the remarkable magnetic properties of the planar Bose gas.

Superconductivity of the Bose gas

John Daicic, Norman E. Frankel

We investigate the magnetic properties of the ideal Bose gas in both the relativistic and nonrelativistic regimes, and demonstrate its remarkable behavior as a superconductor, where it expels totally an external homogeneous field, and also a new phenomenon, which we call superdiamagnetism, where the gas very nearly does so. These two phenomena are shown to exist in two distinct temperature regimes for both the nonrelativistic and relativistic gases, and are revealed by a careful consideration of the analytic structure of the thermodynamic potential of the system, accessible by the powerful method of the Mellin integral transform. We also comment on other approaches to this problem which have recently appeared.

Statistical mechanics of nonrelativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field

Guy B. Standen, David J. Toms

The statistical mechanics of a system of nonrelativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field is discussed. The spatial dimension D is arbitrary, with D>or=3 assumed. Calculations are presented from first principles using the effective action method. For D>or=5 the system has a phase transition with a Bose condensate. We show how the effective action method deals in a very natural way with the condensate, and study its role in the magnetization of the gas. For large values of the magnetic field we show how the magnetized gas in D spatial dimensions behaves like the free Bose gas in D-2 spatial dimensions. Even though for D=3 the magnetized gas does not have a phase transition for any nonzero value of the magnetic field, we show how the specific heat starts to resemble the result for the free gas as the magnetic field is reduced. A number of analytical approximations for the magnetization and specific heat are given, and compared with numerical results. In this way we are able to study in precise detail how the B-->0 limit of the magnetized gas is achieved.

Bose-Einstein condensation of nonrelativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field

Guy B. Standen, David J. Toms

The statistical mechanics of a system of non-relativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field is discussed. The spatial dimension $D$ is arbitrary with $D\geq 3$ assumed. Calculations are presented from first principles using the effective action method. For $D\geq 5$ the system has a phase transition with a Bose condensate. We show how the effective action method method deals with in a very natural way with the condensate and study it's rôle in the magnetization of the gas. For large values of the magnetic field we show how the magnetized gas in $D$ spatial dimensions behaves like the free Bose gas in $(D-2)$ spatial dimensions. Even though for D=3 the magnetized gas does not have a phase transition for any non-zero value of the magnetic field, we show how the specific heat starts to resemble the result for the free gas as the magnetic field is reduced. A number of analytical approximations for the magnetization and specific heat are given and compared with numerical results. In this way we are able to study in precise detail how the $B\to 0$ limit of the magnetized gas is achieved.

Statistical mechanics of-nonrelativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field

GB Standen, David J. Toms

The statistical mechanics of a system of nonrelativistic charged particles in a constant magnetic field is discussed. The spatial dimension D is arbitrary, with D greater than or equal to 3 assumed. Calculations are presented from first principles using the effective action method. For D greater than or equal to 5 the system has a phase transition with a Bose condensate. We show how the effective action method deals in a very natural way with the condensate, and study its role in the magnetization of the gas. For large values of the magnetic field we show how the magnetized gas in D spatial dimensions behaves like the free Bose gas in D-2 spatial dimensions.

Magnetic Properties of Charged Ideal Quantum Gases in n Dimensions

Robert Mccredie May

We consider the mathematical model of an ideal gas of charged bosons or fermions in an n-dimensional space, treating n as a continuous variable. The investigation shows the extent to which the magnetic behavior depends on the dimensionality of the system. In particular, the charged Bose gas in a homogeneous magnetic field does not condense unless n > 4, in contrast to the field-free gas which condenses for n > 2: however so long as n > 2 and T < Tc this system completely expels homogeneous magnetic fields weaker than a certain critical field, Hc. (Tc is the field free transition temperature.) This field expulsion comes explicitly from the condensed ground-state bosons for n > 4; but it is still present, and Hc has the same form, for 4 > n > 2 where there is no condensation.

Effective-action approach to Bose-Einstein condensation and superconductivity of a charged ideal nonrelativistic Bose gas

David J. Toms

We use the effective-action approach to quantum-field theory to study some of the thermodynamic properties of a charged ideal nonrelativistic gas of spin-0 bosons in a weak external magnetic field. It is shown how Bose-Einstein condensation and the Meissner-Oschenfeld effect arise. By using generalized \ensuremath{\zeta} functions and dimensional regularization a very complete analysis for a space of arbitrary dimension can be given.
