Physical Review A

Thermodynamic and magnetic properties of an interacting para-Fermi gas in a homogeneous magnetic field

Abstract

A two-body-interaction model characterized by the scattering length a is applied to study the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of nonrelativistic interacting systems of spin-(1/2) particles in the presence of an external homogeneous magnetic field under the assumption that the particles obey generalized statistics of order l. Here one assumes that the occupation number of an energy state can take values 0,1,2,3,...,l and no more, where l is an integer greater than unity. Exact expressions for thermodynamic and magnetic properties due to the generalized nature of the statistics are obtained and the characteristic departure of the present results from those of the Fermi-Dirac case are pointed out. Variation of thermodynamic properties with the interaction parameter ${\mathrm{av}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1/3}$ is also obtained.

Relativistic thermodynamic properties of a weakly interacting Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field

Men Fu-Dian, Liu Hui, Fan Zhao-Lan +1 more

This paper derives the analytical expression of free energy for a weakly interacting Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field, by using the methods of quantum statistics as well as considering the relativistic effect. Based on the derived expression, the thermodynamic properties of the system at both high and low temperatures are given and the relativistic effect on the properties of the system is discussed. It shows that, in comparison with a nonrelativistic situation, the relativistic effect changes the influence of temperature on the thermodynamic properties of the system at high temperatures, and changes the influence of particle-number density on them at extremely low temperature. But the relativistic effect does not change the influence of the magnetic field and inter-particle interactions on the thermodynamic properties of the system at both high and extremely low temperatures.

Investigation of thermodynamic properties of weakly interacting Fermi gas in weakly magnetic field by using the N-E-V distribution and pseudopotential method

Heling Li, Juanjuan Wang, Bin Yang +1 more

Based on the fact that most of low temperature experiments of quantum systems are explored in an external field on condition that the particle numbers, volumes and energies of systems may be changed, the thermodynamic properties of weakly interacting Fermi systems in weak magnetic field are studied by using the statistical distribution of the completely open system with variable particle number, volume, and energy (N-E-V distribution). Firstly, the analytical expressions of internal energy and heat capacity, which are in the Fermi integral form, are obtained in the general case, and the analytical expressions and numerical results of energy and heat capacity are given under the extreme condition of supper-low temperature. The calculation results by the N-E-V distribution (with particle number density being variable) are compared with those by a pseudopotential method (with particle number density being unchanged). It can be found that the deviations of the internal energy and heat capacity calculated by the two different methods are very small, and the N-E-V distribution method can partially compensate for the error caused by the pseudo potential method. The most interesting point of the results obtained by the N-E-V distribution method is that there is a phase transition temperature in the weakly interacting Fermi system in weak magnetic field under the low temperature condition. The phase transition temperature is just in the range where occur the Fermi systems, Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) phase transition, and BEC-BCS crossover, and does not vary with strength nor characteristic (attraction or repulsion) of the weak interaction, but it decreases with the strengthening of the external magnetic. When there is no external magnetic, the phase transition temperature is highest (more than 0.184 times Fermi temperature).

Charged two-dimensional quantum gas in a uniform magnetic field at finite temperature

Brandon P. van Zyl, David A. W. Hutchinson

We present closed-form, analytical expressions for the thermodynamic properties of an ideal, two-dimensional (2D) charged Fermi or Bose gas in the presence of a uniform magnetic field of arbitrary strength. We consider both the homogeneous quantum gas (in which case our expressions are exact) and the inhomogeneous gas within the local-density approximation. Our results for the Fermi gas are relevant to the current-density-functional theory of low-dimensional electronic systems in magnetic fields. For a 2D charged Bose gas (CBG) in a homogeneous magnetic field, we show that the uniform system undergoes a sharp transition at a critical temperature ${T}_{c}^{\ensuremath{\star}},$ below which there is a macroscopic occupation of the lowest Landau level. An examination of the one-body density matrix, however, reveals the absence of long-range order, thereby indicating that the transition cannot be interpreted to a Bose-Einstein condensate. Nevertheless, for $T<{T}_{c}^{\ensuremath{\star}}$ and weak magnetic fields, the system still exhibits magnetic properties which are practically indistinguishable from those of a condensed, superconducting CBG. We therefore conclude that while a condensate is a sufficient condition for the ideal CBG to exhibit a superconducting state, it may not be a necessary condition.

Statistic properties of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field

Men Fu-Dian, Fan Zhao-Lan

Based on the thermodynamic potential function of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field, using the thermodynamics method, the integrated analytical expressions of thermodynamic quantities of the system at low temperatures are derived, and the effects of the magnetic field on the statistic properties of the system are analysed. It is shown that, as long as the temperature is not zero, the effects of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities of the system contain both oscillatory and non-oscillatory parts. For the non-oscillatory part, compared with the situation of Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field, the influence of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities is not exactly the same. For the oscillatory part, the period and amplitude of the oscillation are all related to the magnetic field. Due to the oscillation, the chemical potential may be greater than Ferim energy of the system, but the oscillation does not affect the thermodynamic stability of the system.

Physical properties of particles obeying generalized statistics

Ian E. McCarthy

ABSTRACT The Feynman probability amplitudes for interactions between spin ½ fields and fields of integral spin quantized according to the generalized method of Green are investigated. It is shown that the scattering amplitudes are independent of the method of quantization though the amplitudes of the vacuum fluctuations are not. The question of distinguishing particles satisfying the generalized statistics, if they exist in nature, from Fermi or Bose particles is considered. It is shown that the statistical thermodynamics of the particles depends on the statistics, but as this requires a large number of particles in thermodynamical equilibrium, it offers no means of distinction for particles with short lifetimes. In practice, an examination of particles in bound states would identify particles obeying generalized statistics.

Universality of the Hall conductivity for a weakly interacting magnetic fermionic gas in the Hartree-Fock approximation

Horia D. Cornean, Emanuela L. Giacomelli, Domenico Monaco +1 more

We consider a two-dimensional gas of interacting fermions in presence of an external constant magnetic field: the system is extended and homogeneous, and thus assumed to be invariant under magnetic translations. Working within the Hartree-Fock approximation, we analyze the system directly in the thermodynamic limit by solving a self-consistent fixed-point equation for the one-particle density matrix. We prove that, provided that the interactions among fermions are sufficiently weak, there exists a unique one-particle density matrix that solves the self-consistency condition. By choosing the Fermi-Dirac distribution as the function in the fixed-point equation, this approach can describe both positive and zero-temperature cases. At zero temperature and when the chemical potential of the non-interacting system lies in a spectral gap of the free Landau operator, our self-consistent solution is an orthogonal projection (an "interacting" effective Fermi projection). We prove that its integrated density of states varies linearly with the external magnetic field, provided the interaction is weak enough: the slope of this variation is quantized and independent of the interaction. According to the Středa formula, this can be seen as yet another expression of the universality of the quantum Hall effect in weakly interacting systems, at least within the Hartree-Fock approximation.
