Abstract

Using the methods of numerical simulation and quantum statistics, based on the thermodynamic quantities of Fermi gas trapped in a general external potential, we studied the thermodynamic properties of a relativistic Fermi gas trapped in hard-sphere potential, gave the analytical expressions of the energy and heat capacity of the relativistic Fermi system, and analyzed the influence of the relativistic effect on the energy and heat capacity. The results showed the energy and heat capacity of the relativistic Fermi system is larger than those of the nonrelativistic case. The larger the relativistic eigenvalue, the lower the change temperature of heat capacity. As the temperature rises, the larger the relativistic eigenvalue, the greater the energy.

Based on the semiclassical(Thomas-Fermi) approximation,the macrocanonical partition function and macrocanonical potential of a relativistic Fermi gas in a general external potential in any dimensional space are studied.The general analytical expressions of the total particle number N,total energy U and heat capacity C have been derived with thermodynamic fundamental equations,where N,U and C are expressed by the modified Bessel function.Moreover,the analytical expressions of the total energy,chemical potential and heat capacity in the high-and low-temperature approximations are given.From these results,how the characteristics of the Fermi gas depend on various factors is discussed.

The effects of relativistic correction on Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field

Yi Zhao

Based on the methods of quantum statistics, by considering relativistic correction of single particle and introducing the nonrelativistic free energy of the system of spinless and free fermions,the free energy for Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field is derived, thereout the analytical expressions of thermodynamic quantities of the system under various temperature condtions are given, the effects of relativistic correction on the properties of the nonrelativistic system are exhibited particular and concrete, and the mechanism of the effects is analysed. Compared with those of nonrelativistic situation, it is shown that the effects of relativistic correction always reduce chemical potential. The effects of relativistic correction decrease the total energy and heat capacity at low temperatures, while increase them at high temperatures. The changes of the total energy and heat capacity (not include the low-temperature heat capacity ) are proportional to the square of magnetic field.

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.

Relativistic Thermodynamic Properties of Interacting Fermi Gas in a Strong Magnetic Field

Hai-Tang Wang, Men Fu-Dian, Xin-Long Chen

Based on the Mean Field Theory, the relativistic thermodynamic potential function (RTPF) of interacting Fermi gases in a strong magnetic field is derived. On this basis, by taking the interacting term from the RTPF and using the thermodynamic relations, analytical expressions of the energy, the heat capacity and the chemical potential are calculated at low temperatures. And combined with numerical simulation analysis, the effect of interaction on the thermodynamic properties of the system is analyzed and the regulation mechanisms on the interaction impacts of both the magnetic field and the relativistic effect are discussed.

Relativistic effect of ultracold Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field

Men Fu-Dian, He Xiao-Gang, Yong Zhou +1 more

Based on the single particle energy spectrum of weak relativity and Poissons formula,the thermodynamic potential function of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field is derived. Furthermore, by using the thermodynamic relationships, the analytical expressions of statistic characteristic quantities of the system at low temperatures are obtained, and the influence mechanism of relativistic effect on the statistic properties of the system is analysed. It is shown that the relativistic effect becomes more significant with the magnetic field increasing. Compared with the corresponding oscillating amplitude, the monotonic term, which is caused by the relativistic effect, is much larger than the amplitude for the total energy, however, for the chemical potential and magnetic moment, they are almost of the same order.

The Effect of Temperatures and Magnetic Field on Relativistic Fermi Gas

By using the methods of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the relativistic effects of the thermodynamic properties of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field are studied, and the influential mechanisms of temperatures and the magnetic field on the relativistic effects of the system are analyzed.It is shown that, at low temperatures, the effects of temperatures on the relativistic effect relate to the chemical potential of the free system.The magnetic field's effects on the relativistic effects of heat capacity and chemical potential display oscillating characteristics.At high temperatures, the relativistic effects of the thermodynamic quantities trigger oscillations with increasing of temperatures and magnetic field, and its amplitude decreases obviously to disappearing with the increasing of temperatures.However, its amplitude increases evidently due to the amplified magnetic field.
