Thermodynamic properties of the free massless Bose field on a lattice

Regina Maria Ricotta

Published Jan 1, 1989• 0 citations

Abstract

A study is presented of the sensitivity of the energy density of the massless Bose field on a finite lattice, at finite temperature, when modes of different components are excluded from the partition function.

The path integral approach to thermodynamics

A very curious situation arises in the context of the calculation of the partition function from the spectrum of an integrable Hamiltonian. Despite the validity of the Bethe ansatz equations for all energy eigenvalues of the model the direct evaluation of the partition function is rather difficult. In contrast to ideal quantum gases the eigenstates are not explicitly known: the Bethe ansatz equations provide just implicit descriptions that pose problems of their own kind. Yet, knowing the behaviour of quantum chains at finite temperatures is important for many reasons. As a matter of fact, the groundstate is strictly inaccessible due to the very fundamentals of thermodynamics. Therefore the study of finite temperatures is relevant for theoretical as well as experimental reasons. At high temperatures, quantum systems show only trivial static properties without correlations. Lowering the temperature, the systems enter a large regime with non-universal correlations and finally approach the quantum critical point at exactly zero temperature showing universal, non-trivial properties with divergent correlation lengths governed by conformal field theory [51]. In Chapter 5 of this book we have discussed the traditional Thermodynamical Bethe Ansatz (TBA) as developed for the Heisenberg model and the Hubbard model [155, 433–435] on the basis of a method [496] invented for the Bose gas.

Bose-Einstein condensation of ideal Bose gases under external conditions

Klaus Kirsten

This chapter focuses on the applications involving finite temperature theories. Technically, the grand canonical partition function is easiest to handle and in general it is the one used for the analysis of the thermodynamical properties. In fact, for properties like the energy and the specific heat of the gas this is justified because in the thermodynamical limit the different ensembles are known to give the same answer. The chapter uses the grand canonical ensemble to obtain properties like critical temperature, energy and specific heat. It summarizes the grand canonical description of ideal Bose gases trapped by magnetic fields and describes the formulation of Bose-Einstein condensation as a symmetry-breaking phenomenon.

Ferromagnetic behavior in the strongly interacting two-component Bose gas

Xi‐Wen Guan, Murray T. Batchelor, Minoru Takahashi

We investigate the low-temperature behavior of the integrable one-dimensional two-component spinor Bose gas using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. We find that for strong coupling the characteristics of the thermodynamics at low temperatures are quantitatively affected by the spin ferromagnetic states, which are described by an effective ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. The free energy, specific heat, susceptibility, and local pair correlation function are calculated for various physical regimes in terms of temperature and interaction strength. These thermodynamic properties reveal spin effects which are significantly different than those of the spinless Bose gas. The zero-field susceptibility for finite strong repulsion exceeds that of a free spin paramagnet. The critical exponents of the specific heat ${c}_{v}\ensuremath{\sim}{T}^{1∕2}$ and the susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}\ensuremath{\sim}{T}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ are indicative of the ferromagnetic signature of the two-component spinor Bose gas. Our analytic results are consistent with general arguments by Eisenberg and Lieb for polarized spinor bosons.

Slave-particle approach to the finite-temperature properties of ultracold Bose gases in optical lattices

Xiancong Lu, Jinbin Li, Yue Yu

By using slave particle (slave boson and slave fermion) techniques on the Bose-Hubbard model, we study the finite temperature properties of ultracold Bose gases in optical lattices. The phase diagrams at finite temperature are depicted by including different types of slave particles and the effect of the finite types of slave particles is estimated. The superfluid density is evaluated using the Landau second order phase transition theory. The atom density, excitation spectrum, and dispersion curve are also computed at various temperatures, and how the Mott-insulator evolves as the temperature increases is demonstrated. For most quantities to be calculated, we find that there are no qualitative differences in using the slave boson or the slave fermion approaches. However, when studying the stability of the mean field state, we find that in contrast to the slave fermion approach, the slave boson mean field state is not stable. Although the slave boson mean field theory gives a qualitatively correct phase boundary, it corresponds to a local maximum of Landau free energy and cannot describe the second order phase transition because the coefficient ${a}_{4}$ of the fourth order term is always negative in the free energy expansion.
