The Specific Heat of a Trapped Fermi Gas: an Analytical Approach

José M. B. Noronha, David J. Toms, Typeset Using Revtex

We find an analytical expression for the specific heat of a Fermi gas in a harmonic trap using a semi-classical approximation. Our approximation is valid for kBT � �wx,y,z and in this range it is shown to be highly accurate. We comment on the semi-classical approximation, presenting an explanation for this high accuracy.

We find an analytical expression for the specific heat of a Fermi gas in a harmonic trap using a semi-classical approximation. Our approximation is valid for k(B)T ≥ hw(x, y, z) and in this range it is shown to be highly accurate. We comment on the semi-classical approximation, presenting an explanation for this high accuracy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Energy fluctuation and discontinuity of specific heat

Shyamal Biswas, Joydip Mitra, Saugata Bhattacharyya

The specific heat per particle ( c v ) of an ideal gas, on many occasions, is interpreted as energy fluctuation per particle (▵ 2 ) of the ideal gas through the relation ▵ 2 = kT 2 c v , where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. This relationship is true only in the classical limit and deviates significantly in the quantum degenerate regime. We have analytically explored quantum to classical crossover of this relationship, in particular, for 3D free Bose and Fermi gases. We have explored the same for harmonically trapped cases. We have obtained a hump of around its condensation point for 3D harmonically trapped Bose gas. We have discussed the possibility of an occurring phase transition with the discontinuity of heat capacity from the existence of such a hump for other Bose and Fermi systems.
