MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE NONRELATIVISTIC BOSON GAS
Laurean Homorodean
Abstract
The magnetic susceptibilities of the degenerate (below the Bose–Einstein condensation temperature) and nondegenerate ideal gases of nonrelativistic charged spinless bosons are presented. In both cases, the boson gas is diamagnetic. The magnetic susceptibility of the degenerate boson gas below the Bose–Einstein condensation temperature increases in modulus as the temperature increases. As expected, the magnetic susceptibility of the nondegenerate boson gas decreases in modulus with increasing temperature according to the Curie law in low magnetic fields.
