Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal Bose gas trapped in any dimension

Abstract

The properties of a trapped ideal Bose gas in n -dimensional space are studied. General analytic expressions of the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation, the jump of heat capacity at and the fraction of condensation at temperatures below have been derived. How these physical quantities depend on the external potential, particle characteristics and space dimensionality are discussed. We find that when a proper external potential is taken, Bose-Einstein condensation may occur in any dimensional space.

Bose-Einstein Condensation of an Ideal Bose Gas Trapped in the Low Dimensional Space

Liu Jing-yi

By using the local density approximation, Bose-Einstein condensation of Bose gas in the low dimensional space is investigated. The results show that when a proper external potential is taken, BEC may occur in the low dimensional space. The critical temperature Tc, the ground state fraction N0/N and the behaviour (jump or not) of the heat capacity C depend on the shape of the potential.

Bose-Einstein condensation of a trapped gas in n dimensions

Zijun Yan

The critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, ground-state fraction, and heat capacity of an ideal gas of Bose particles that are confined by an n-dimensional generic power-law potential trap are derived. The conditions for Bose-Einstein condensation and the discontinuous conditions of the heat capacity at critical temperature are obtained. All these quantities and conditions are found to vary markedly with the dimensionality of space, characteristics of particles, and shape of the external potential. The results obtained here are universal.

Thermodynamics of Ideal Bose Gas Under Generic Power Law Potential in ddd-dimensions

Mir Mehedi Faruk

Thermodynamic properties of ideal Bose gas trapped in an external generic power law potential are investigated systematically from the grand thermodynamic potential in $d$ dimensional space. The most general conditions for Bose-Einstein condensate and the discontinuous conditions of heat capacity at the critical temperature in presence of generic power law potential are presented in this manuscript. The dependence of the physical quantities on external potential, particle characteristics and space dimensionality are discussed. The more general results obtained in this paper presents an unified illustration of Bose-Einstein condensation of ideal Bose systems as they reduces to the expressions and conclusions available in the literature with appropiate choice of power law exponent.

Bose–Einstein condensation of a relativistic Bose gas trapped in a general external potential

Guozhen Su, Jincan Chen, Lixuan Chen

Bose–Einstein condensation of an ideal relativistic Bose gas trapped in a generic power-law potential is investigated. The analytical expressions for some important parameters such as the critical temperature, ground-state fraction and heat capacity are derived. The general criteria on the occurrence of Bose–Einstein condensation and the discontinuity of heat capacity at the critical temperature are obtained. The results obtained here present a unified description for the Bose–Einstein condensation of a class of ideal Bose systems so that many important conclusions in the literature are included in this paper.

Bose-Einstein condensation in an external potential

Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato, David E. Pritchard, Daniel Kleppner

We present theoretical results for the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, condensate fraction, and heat capacity of a gas of Bose particles that are confined by a generic power-law potential trap. All three of these quantities are found to vary markedly with the shape of the potential. Both the ideal and the weakly interacting Bose gas are considered.
