Abstract

Phase separation of two-component untrapped and trapped Bose gases at finite temperature is studied. Conditions for the stability of a homogeneous binary Bose gas mixture at finite temperature and the density profile of the trapped binary mixture are obtained. Our extended results include the known results for zero temperature.

Phase separation of a trapped Bose-Fermi gas mixture: Beyond the Thomas-Fermi approximation

X. X. Yi, C. P. Sun

Phase separation of a Bose-Fermi gas mixture in a trapping potential is strongly influenced by the interaction between the fermion and the boson. The stability condition for the mixture at zero temperature is deduced. It is found that mixture stability depends on the fermion-boson interaction, the total number of the bosons and the fermions, and the trapping frequencies. The stability conditions for the mixture at finite temperature are also derived and discussed.

Stability properties of trapped Bose-Fermi gases mixture

X. X. Yi, C. P. Sun

The stability of Bose-Fermi gases trapped in an isotropic potentials at ultracold temperature is strongly influenced by the interaction between the fermions and the bosons. At zero temperature, the stability criterion is given in this paper using variation method, the results show that whether a fermion-boson mixture is stable depends mainly on the interaction between the fermions and the bosons. For finite temperature, however, the stability is not only related to the coupling constants, but also to the temperature. The stability conditions for finite temperature are also derived and discuss in details in this paper.

Trapped Bose-Bose mixtures at finite temperature: A quantum Monte Carlo approach

We study thermal properties of a trapped Bose-Bose mixture in a dilute regime using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our main aim is to investigate the dependence of the superfluid density and the condensate fraction on temperature for the mixed and separated phases. To this end we use the diffusion Monte Carlo method in the zero-temperature limit and the path-integral Monte Carlo method for finite temperatures. The results obtained are compared with solutions of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations for the mixture at zero temperature. We notice the existence of an anisotropic superfluid density in some phase-separated mixtures. Our results also show that the temperature evolution of the superfluid density and condensate fraction is slightly different, showing noteworthy situations where the superfluid fraction is smaller than the condensate fraction.

Phase separation in binary Bose mixtures at finite temperature

We investigate the magnetic behavior of finite-temperature repulsive two-component Bose mixtures by means of exact path-integral Monte-Carlo simulations. Novel algorithms are implemented for the free energy and the chemical potential of the two components. Results on the magnetic susceptibility suggest that the conditions for phase separation are not modified from the zero temperature case. This contradicts previous predictions based on approximate theories. We also determine the temperature dependence of the chemical potential and the contact parameters for experimentally relevant balanced mixtures.

Static Properties of Trapped Bose Gases at Finite Temperature: I. Thomas- Fermi Limit

Mohamed Benarous, Samet, H. Chachou

We rely on a variational approach to derive a set of equations governing a trapped self-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature. In this work, we analyze the static situation both at zero and finite temperature in the Thomas-Fermi limit. We derive simple analytic expressions for the condensate properties at finite temperature. The noncondensate and anomalous density profiles are also analyzed in terms of the condensate fraction. The results are quite encouraging owing to the simplicity of the formalism.

Finite-temperature study of Bose-Fermi superfluid mixtures

B. Ramachandhran, S. G. Bhongale, Han Pu

Ultracold atom experiments offer the unique opportunity to study mixing of different types of superfluid states. Our interest is in superfluid mixtures comprising of particles with different statistics---Bose and Fermi. Such scenarios occur naturally, for example, in dense quantum chromodynamics (QCD) matter. Interestingly, cold atomic experiments are performed in traps with finite spatial extent, thus critically destabilizing the occurrence of various homogeneous phases. Critical to this analysis is the understanding that the trapped system can undergo phase separation, resulting in a unique situation where phase transition in either species (bosons or fermions) can overlap with the phase separation between possible phases. In the present work, we illustrate how this intriguing interplay manifests in an interacting two-species atomic mixture---one bosonic and another fermionic with two spin components---within a realistic trap configuration. We further show that such interplay of transitions can render the nature of the ground state to be highly sensitive to the experimental parameters and the dimensionality of the system.
