Confined harmonically interacting spin-polarized fermions in a magnetic field: Thermodynamics

S. Foulon, F. Brosens, J. T. Devreese +1 more

We investigate the combined influence of a magnetic field and a harmonic interparticle interaction on the thermodynamic properties of a finite number of spin-polarized fermions in a confinement potential. This study is an extension using our path integral approach of symmetrized density matrices for identical particles. The thermodynamical properties are calculated for a three-dimensional model of N harmonically interacting spin-polarized fermions in a parabolic potential well in the presence of a magnetic field. The free energy and the internal energy are obtained for a limited number of particles. Deviations from the thermodynamical limit become negligible for about 100 or more particles, but even for a smaller number of fermions present in the well, scaling relations similar to those of the continuum approximation to the density of states are already satisfied.

Oscillations in trapped Fermi gases in isotropic potentials

D. J. Toms

We study the thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas of fermions in a harmonic oscillator confining potential. The analogy between this problem and the de Haas-van Alphen effect is discussed and used to obtain analytical results for the chemical potential and specific heat in the case of an isotropic potential. Step-like behaviour in the chemical potential, first noted in numerical studies, is obtained analytically and shown to result in an oscillatory behaviour of the specific heat when the particle number is varied. The origin of these oscillations is that part of the thermodynamic potential responsible for the de Haas-van Alphen effect. At low temperatures we show that there are significant deviations in the specific heat from the expected linear temperature dependence again as a consequence of the de Haas-van Alphen part of the thermodynamic potential. Results are given for one, two, and three spatial dimensions.
