Phase transition in the magnetic field in a Bose gas

Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of a Bose gas of particles with nonzero spin and magnetic moment in states with and without a Bose-Einstein condensate are studied as a function of the external magnetic field. It is shown that there exists a temperature interval where a transition into a state with a Bose-Einstein condensate occurs in a Bose gas with constant temperature and particle number density when the magnetic field is increasing and reaches a critical magnitude. The temperature and magnetic field derivatives of the specific heat at constant volume and the magnetic susceptibility undergo a jump at such a transition.

Thermodynamic properties of the itinerant-boson ferromagnet

Thermodynamics of a spin-1 Bose gas with ferromagnetic interactions is investigated via the mean-field theory. It is apparently shown in the specific-heat curve that the system undergoes two phase transitions, the ferromagnetic transition and Bose-Einstein condensation, with the Curie point above the condensation temperature. Above the Curie point, the susceptibility fits the Curie-Weiss law perfectly. At a fixed temperature, the reciprocal susceptibility is also in a good linear relationship with the ferromagnetic interaction.

Thermal Properties of the System of Magnetic Bosons: -- Bose-Einstein Ferromagnetism --

Keiji Yamada

Thermal and magnetic properties of the system of ideal magnetic bosons exposed to a magnetic field are investigated. The Boson particle is assumed to have a spin of magnitude one and a magnetic moment m0. The results are summarized as follows: The grand thermodynamical potential of the system has a certain singularity on the field versus temperature (T-H) plane, in which two sorts of singular lines SL1 and SL3 as shown in Fig. 1 appear. The Bose-Einstein (BE) condensation occurs in a lower temperature and higher field region bounded by the line SL3 or ACB on the T-H plane. A spontaneous magnetization appears below a critical temperature, at which the zero field susceptibility diverges. This nature is called the “BE Ferromagnetism” in this paper. The system exhibits a phase transition of first order on the line SL1 and that of third order on SL3. The transition reduces to the second order one at the critical temperature T0. The critical exponents at T0 are found to be α = α′ = 0, β = γ = 1 and δ = 2, which satisfy the Griffiths inequalities. In conclusion, the system of magnetic bosons which can really exist is also discussed.

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.

Condensation and Magnetization of Charged Vector Boson Gas

V. R. Khalilov, Choon-Lin Ho, Chi Yang

The magnetic properties of charged vector boson gas are studied in the very weak, and very strong (near critical value) external magnetic field limits. When the density of the vector boson gas is low, or when the external field is strong, no true Bose–Einstein condensation occurs, though significant amount of bosons will accumulate in the ground state. The gas is ferromagnetic in nature at low temperature. However, Bose–Einstein condensation of vector bosons (scalar bosons as well) is likely to occur in the presence of a uniform weak magnetic field when the gas density is sufficiently high. A transitional density depending on the magnetic field seems to exist below which the vector boson gas changes its property with respect to the Bose–Einstein condensation in a uniform magnetic field.

Static properties and spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose gas in a magnetic field

Krisztián Kis-Szabó, P. Szépfalusy, Gergely Szirmai

The properties of spin-1 Bose gases with ferromagnetic interactions in the presence of a nonzero magnetic field are studied. The equation of state and thermodynamic quantities are worked out with the help of a mean-field approximation. The phase diagram besides Bose-Einstein condensation contains a first-order transition where two values of the magnetization coexist. The dynamics is investigated with the help of the random phase approximation. The soft mode corresponding to the critical point of the magnetic phase transition is found to behave like in conventional theory.

Thermodynamics of Charged Ideal Bose Gases in a Trap under a Magnetic Field

Jing-Han Fan, Qiang Gu, Wei Guo

We investigate thermodynamic properties of the rotating Bose gas in a trap, taking the charged ideal Bose gas in a magnetic field as an example. The system is equivalent to a neutral gas in a synthetic magnetic field. It is indicated that the Bose—Einstein condensation temperature is irrelevant to the magnetic field, conflicting with established intuition that the critical temperature decreases with the field increasing. The specific heat and Landau diamagnetization also exhibit intriguing behaviors.
