Lower bounds of the ground-state energy of the charged Bose gas

Abstract

We study many-body effects of a charged-boson system in terms of a dynamically self-consistent method. We calculate static structure factors, elementary excitation energies, pair correlation functions, and ground-state energies for various densities through the iterative calculation using two independent relations between the structure factor and the local-field correction, and compare with a similar method using the local-field correction of Singwi et al. We claim that our ground-state energies may be considered as lower bounds.

Charged Bose gas at T=0

Álvaro A. Caparica, Oscar Hipólito

The ground state of a charged Bose gas is studied throughout a large range of densities in a self-consistent-field approximation formalism which includes the short-range correlations between bosons through a local-field correction. Numerical self-consistent calculations have been carried out in order to determine the static structure factor $S(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{q}})$. Hence, from $S(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{q}})$ we have obtained the pair-correlation functions, the ground-state energy which essentially is the correlation energy, the pressure of the gas, and, from Feynman's relation, the energy spectrum of elementary excitations. The response of the system to a static impurity charge has also been investigated. In the high-density limit our calculations show the same results as those given by Bogoliubov's perturbation theory. In the intermediate-density region, corresponding to the strongly coupled system, our results are in very good agreement with recent calculations based on the hypernetted-chain integral equation as well as Monte Carlo computations.

Ground state of a two-dimensional charged-boson system

Chung‐In Um, W. H. Kahng, Eui-Soon Yim +1 more

The ground state of a two-dimensional charged-boson system is investigated over the range of densities 1\ensuremath{\lesssim}${R}_{s}$\ensuremath{\lesssim}10 in the self-consistent-field approximation; ${R}_{s}$=(${a}_{0}^{2}$\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\rho}${)}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1/2}$, where ${a}_{0}$ is the Bohr radius and \ensuremath{\rho} is the number density. Starting with numerical self-consistent calculations of the static structure factor, the elementary excitation, pair-correlation functions, pressure, and ground-state energy are evaluated. These results are compared with those of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems obtained from other methods. The ground-state energy is given as ${\mathit{E}}_{0=\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1.2918{\mathit{R}}_{\mathit{s}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2/3}$+0.03, which improves that result from the ring-diagram approximation.

Dynamic correlations in a charged Bose gas

Kumar Tankeshwar, B. Tanatar, Monica Tosi

We evaluate the ground-state properties of a charged Bose gas at $T=0$ within the quantum version of the self-consistent field approximation of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sj\"olander. The dynamical nature of the local- field correction is retained to include dynamic correlation effects. The resulting static structure factor $S(q)$ and the local-field factor $G(q)$ exhibit properties not described by other mean-field theories.

Ground-state properties of the two-dimensional charged Bose gas

B. Davoudi, Ezio Strepparola, B. Tanatar +1 more

We study the two-dimensional gas of charged bosons interacting via a logarithmic potential within the quantal hypernetted-chain approximation. The pair correlation function, the static structure factor, the ground-state energy, and the spectrum of collective excitations are calculated over a range of the density parameter ${r}_{s}.$ We find that the static and dynamical properties are described rather well in this approach in comparison to previous theories. Our results are in good agreement with the available quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

The Ground State of the Bose Gas

Élliott H. Lieb, Robert Seiringer, Jan Philip Solovej +1 more

Now that the low temperature properties of quantum-mechanical many-body systems (bosons) at low density, $ρ$, can be examined experimentally it is appropriate to revisit some of the formulas deduced by many authors 4-5 decades ago. For systems with repulsive (i.e. positive) interaction potentials the experimental low temperature state and the ground state are effectively synonymous -- and this fact is used in all modeling. In such cases, the leading term in the energy/particle is $2π\hbar^2 a ρ/m$ where $a$ is the scattering length of the two-body potential. Owing to the delicate and peculiar nature of bosonic correlations (such as the strange $N^{7/5}$ law for charged bosons), four decades of research failed to establish this plausible formula rigorously. The only previous lower bound for the energy was found by Dyson in 1957, but it was 14 times too small. The correct asymptotic formula has recently been obtained by us and this work will be presented. The reason behind the mathematical difficulties will be emphasized. A different formula, postulated as late as 1971 by Schick, holds in two-dimensions and this, too, will be shown to be correct. With the aid of the methodology developed to prove the lower bound for the homogeneous gas, two other problems have been successfully addressed. One is the proof by us that the Gross-Pitaevskii equation correctly describes the ground state in the `traps' actually used in the experiments. For this system it is also possible to prove complete Bose condensation, as we have shown. Another topic is a proof that Foldy's 1961 theory of a high density Bose gas of charged particles correctly describes its ground state energy.

Ground state of a double-layer charged Bose system

Rajinder Kumar Moudgil, P. K. Ahluwalia, K. N. Pathak

The ground state of a double-layer charged Bose system is investigated beyond the random-phase approximation by including the many-body correlation effects. The correlations within the layer are accounted for within the self-consistent theory of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sj\"olander, while we have neglected the effect of interlayer correlations. The static susceptibility, the elementary excitation spectrum, and the static screened potentials are calculated and their dependence on the boson number density and the layer spacing is examined. Results are compared with the recent work of Tanatar and Das where correlations are not included. It is found that the inclusion of correlation effects combined with the interlayer interactions can significantly alter the nature of the ground state and, in particular, can favor an inhomogeneous charge-density-wave ground state. A comparison is also made in terms of screened potentials with the double-layer electron system that enables one to have a deeper insight into the role played by the exchange and Coulomb correlations separately.
