Physical Review A

Transition temperature of a weakly interacting Bose gas

Abstract

We report a theoretical study of the transition temperature of a trapped interacting dilute Bose gas. The system is treated like a two-fluid model consisting of a thermal component and a condensate component. Through the calculation of the energy spectra, the origins of various effects on the transition temperature are derived. We found that the interactive shift is affected by both the thermal component and the condensate component. The latter effect, which is about 34% of the former, has never been reported so far. With these two effects, our calculated interactive shift agrees very well with the recent measurement.

Transition temperature of the interacting dipolar Bose gas

Yee-Mou Kao, Tsin-Fu Jiang

We investigate the effects of long-ranged dipole-dipole potential on the transition temperature of a weakly interacting Bose gas. We apply the two-fluid model to derive the energy spectra of the thermal and the condensate parts. From the interaction modified spectra of the system, the formula for the shift of transition temperature was derived. Compared to the conventional weakly interacting Bose system with contact potential only where thermal effect is larger, we find that the condensate effect is about two times that of the thermal part in the dipolar system. Due to the relative smallness of dipole-dipole interaction with respect to the contact interaction in current dipolar Bose-Einstein condensation, we suggest to measure the dipolar effect by tuning the scattering length to negligible small by the Feshbach resonance technique.

Effect of impurities on the transition temperature of a dilute dipolar trapped Bose gas

H. Yavari, Elaheh Afsaneh

By using a two-fluid model the effect of impurities on the transition temperature of a dipolar trapped Bose gas is investigated. By treating Gaussian spatial correlation for impurities from the interaction modified spectra of the system, the formula for the shift of the transition temperature is derived. The shift of the transition temperature contains essentially three contributions due to contact, dipole-dipole, and impurity interactions. Applying our results to dipolar Bose gases shows that the shift of the transition temperature due to impurities could be measured for an isotropic trap (dipole-dipole contribution is zero) and the Feshbach resonance technique (contact potential contribution is negligible).

Trapped interacting Bose gas in nonextensive statistical mechanics

B. Tanatar

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phenomenon in an interacting trapped Bose gas using the semiclassical two-fluid model and nonextensive statistical mechanics. The effects of nonextensivity characterized by a parameter are explored by calculating the temperature dependent thermodynamic properties, fraction of condensed particles, and density distributions of condensed and thermal components of the system. It is found that nonextensivity in the underlying statistical mechanics may have large effects on the BEC transition temperature.

Effects of impurity and Bose-Fermi interactions on the transition temperature of a dilute dipolar Bose–Einstein condensation in trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures

H. Yavari, M. Mokhtari

The effects of impurity and Bose-Fermi interactions on the transition temperature of a dipolar Bose–Einstein condensation in trapped Bose-Fermi mixture, by using the two-fluid model, are investigated. The shift of the transition temperature consists of four contributions due to contact, Bose-Fermi, dipole-dipole, and impurity interactions. We will show that in the presence of an anisotropic trap, the Bose-Fermi correction to the shift of transition temperature due to the excitation spectra of the thermal part is independent of anisotropy factor. Applying our results to trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures shows that, by knowing the impurity effect, the shift of the transition temperature due to Bose-Fermi interaction could be measured for isotropic trap (dipole-dipole contributions is zero) and Feshbach resonance technique (contact potential contribution is negligible).

Critical Temperature of a Trapped, Weakly Interacting Bose Gas

Fabrice Gerbier, Joseph H. Thywissen, S. Richard +3 more

We report on measurements of the critical temperature of a harmonically trapped, weakly interacting Bose gas as a function of atom number. Our results exclude ideal-gas behavior by more than two standard deviations, and agree quantitatively with mean-field theory. At our level of sensitivity, we find no additional shift due to critical fluctuations. In the course of this measurement, the onset of hydrodynamic expansion in the thermal component has been observed. Our thermometry method takes this feature into account.

Effects of anisotropic potentials on the energy gap of Bose gas

F. Nabipoor, A. Shahzamanian

We investigate the effect of dipole-dipole and quadrapole- quadrapole interaction of a weakly interacting Bose gas near the transition temperature on the energy spectra of the thermal and condensate parts. We use the two fluid model and mean field approximation. We show that the effects of the condensate part on the shift of energy is greater than the case of contact potential
