Abstract

We present a scheme of analytical calculations determining the critical temperature and the number of condensed atoms of ideal gas Bose-Einstein condensation in external potentials with 1D, 2D or 3D periodicity. In particular we show that the width of the lowest energy band appears as the main parameter determining the critical temperature of condensation. Is obtained a very simple, proportional to 1/3 degree, regularity for this dependence. The fundamental role of tunneling in physics of condensate establishment is underscored.

Theory of adiabatic variation of critical temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal gas in optical lattice

G. A. Muradyan, A. Zh. Muradyan

We calculate the critical temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal Bosegas in the presence of an external periodic potential in one, two, or three directions. A number of assumed approximations enables us to show that the only parameter determining the critical temperature of condensation is the width of the lower energy band with the direct proportionality to the one-third power of this width for each direction of periodicity of the external potential. This also proves the result, obtained earlier by means of numerical calculation, that deepening of the periodic potential (which is known to lead to narrowing of energy bands) leads to lowering of the critical temperature. The fundamental role of quantum tunneling in establishing this regularity is emphasized.

Bose-Einstein condensation in an optical lattice

P. B. Blakie, Wenxin Wang

In this paper we develop an analytic expression for the critical temperature for a gas of ideal bosons in a combined harmonic lattice potential, relevant to current experiments using optical lattices. We give corrections to the critical temperature arising from effective mass modifications of the low energy spectrum, finite size effects, and excited band states. We compute the critical temperature using numerical methods and compare to our analytic result. We study condensation in an optical lattice over a wide parameter regime and demonstrate that the critical temperature can be increased or reduced relative to the purely harmonic case by adjusting the harmonic trap frequency. We show that a simple numerical procedure based on a piecewise analytic density of states provides an accurate prediction for the critical temperature.

Decreasing critical temperature of gas BEC in spatially periodic potential and relevance to experiments treated by Mott-Hubbard model

A. Zh. Muradyan, G. A. Muradyan

It is shown that the critical temperature of gas Bose-Einstein condensation decreases in deepening periodic potential, in contrast to common regularity in a separate potential well. The physical explanation of this phenomenon is given. Characteristic scale of potential energies decaying the critical temperature is the quantum recoil energy of periodic potential. The theory represents an alternative and direct approach to the experimental results (C.Orzel et al Science 291, 2386 (2001); M.Greiner et al, Nature 415, 39 (2002)) obtained with BEC in optical lattices and treated as the phase squeezing or Mott transition processes.

Critical temperature and condensed fraction of Bose-Einstein condensation in an external potential

Zhan-Jun Zhang, Qingshan Ma, Jun Zhang

Based on Bose-Einstein condensation at minimized momentum state, we get the expressions for the critical temperature and condensed fraction of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in an external potential in the three-dimensional (3D) case. For the 1D and 2D cases, we present not only the critical temperature and corresponding particles but also the condition of BEC occurrence.

Bose-Einstein Condensation of Spin-1 Atoms in Tight-binding Bands

We present a theoretical study of Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) of trapped ideal gas of spin-1 ultracold atoms in tight-binding bands corresponding to simple cubic(SC) optical lattices.Under the constraints that both the total number of atoms (N) and the total magnetization (M) are conserved,we first investigate the phase transitions process of noninteracting spin-1 atomic system,by investigating the critical condensation temperature and condensate fraction,we find BEC with spin degrees of freedom shows richer phase transitions than BEC of scalar atoms.We then extend our studies to the case with a uniform external magnetic field included,the phase transitions for this case make interesting changes again.
