Abstract

The transition temperature, the depletion of the condensate atoms and the collective excitations of a Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) with two- and three-body interactions in an anharmonic trap at finite temperature are studied in detail. By using the Popov version of the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation, an extended self-consistent model describing BEC with both two- and three-body interactions in a distorted harmonic potential at finite temperature is obtained and solved numerically. The results show that the transition temperature, the condensed atom number and the collective excitations are modified dramatically by the atomic three-body interactions and the distortion of the harmonic trap.

Bose condensates in a harmonic trap near the critical temperature

T. H. Bergeman, David L. Feder, Nandor L. Balazs +1 more

The mean-field properties of finite-temperature Bose-Einstein gases confined in spherically symmetric harmonic traps are surveyed numerically. The solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations for the condensate and low-lying quasiparticle excitations are calculated self-consistently using the discrete variable representation, while the most high-lying states are obtained with a local-density approximation. Consistency of the theory for temperatures through the Bose condensation point ${T}_{c}$ requires that the thermodynamic chemical potential differ from the eigenvalue of the GP equation; the appropriate modifications lead to results that are continuous as a function of the particle interactions. The HFB equations are made gapless either by invoking the Popov approximation or by renormalizing the particle interactions. The latter approach effectively reduces the strength of the effective scattering length ${a}_{\mathrm{sc}},$ increases the number of condensate atoms at each temperature, and raises the value of ${T}_{c}$ relative to the Popov approximation. The renormalization effect increases approximately with the log of the atom number, and is most pronounced at temperatures near ${T}_{c}.$ Comparisons with the results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations and various local-density approximations are presented, and experimental consequences are discussed.

Collective excitations of Bose-Einstein-condensed gases at finite temperatures

R. J. Dodd, Mark Edwards, Charles W. Clark +1 more

We have applied the Popov version of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation to calculate the finite-temperature excitation spectrum of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ${}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms. For lower values of the temperature, we find excellent agreement with recently published experimental data for the JILA time-averaged orbiting potential trap. In contrast to recent comparison of the results of HFB-Popov theory with experimental condensate fractions and specific heats, there is disagreement of the theoretical and recent experimental results near the BEC phase transition temperature.

Collective Excitations and Nonlinear Dynamics of 1D BEC with Two- and Three-body Interactions in Anharmonic Traps

Guan-Qiang Li, Peng Ping, Liu Jian-Ke +1 more

The collective excitations of low-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions in anharmonic potentials are investigated. Using the standard variational approach, the governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained by solving time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii–Ginzburg equation, and the excitation spectrums are calculated in small amplitude limit. The frequency shift and nonlinear mode coupling induced by the anharmonic distortion (adding cubic, quartic, or quintic term to a harmonic trap) are studied.

Stability and Collective Excitation of Two-Dimensional BECs with Two- and Three-Body Interactions in an Anharmonic Trap

Yong Wen-Mei, Wei Xiu-Fang, Zhou Xiao-Yan +1 more

The stability and collective excitation of Bose–Einstein condensates with both two- and three-body interactions in a two-dimensional anharmonic trap (i.e., harmonic plus quartic trap) are investigated. By using the variational method, the influence of the three-body interaction and the anharmonicity on the stability are discussed in detail. It is found that the anharmonicity of the trap and the three-body interaction have significant effect on the stability and collective excitations of the system.

Dipolar Bose gas with three-body interactions at finite temperature

Abdelâali Boudjemâa

Abstract We investigate effects of three-body contact interactions on a trapped dipolar Bose gas at finite temperature using the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov approximation. We analyze numerically the behavior of the transition temperature and the condensed fraction. Effects of the three-body interactions, anomalous pair correlations and temperature on the collective modes are discussed.

Finite Temperature Excitations of a Trapped Bose Gas

David A. W. Hutchinson, E. Zaremba, Adam Griffin

We present a detailed study of the temperature dependence of the condensate and noncondensate density profiles of a Bose-condensed gas in a parabolic trap. These quantities are calculated self-consistently using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations within the Popov approximation. Below the Bose-Einstein transition the excitation frequencies have a relatively weak temperature dependence even though the condensate is strongly depleted. As the condensate density goes to zero through the transition, the excitation frequencies are strongly affected and approach the frequencies of a noninteracting trapped gas in the high temperature limit.
