Abstract

The Bose-Einstein gas in an external potential is studied by means of the local-density approximation. An analytical result is derived for the dependence of the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation on the mutual interaction in a generic power-law potential.

Energy of a trapped interacting Bose gas

Hualin Shi, Wei‐Mou Zheng

A Bose gas in an external potential is studied by means of the semiclassical approximation. Analytical results are derived for the energy of an interacting Bose gas in a generic power-law trapping potential. An expression for the chemical potential below the critical temperature is also obtained. The theoretical results are in agreement with a recent energy measurement.

Bose-Einstein condensation in an external potential

Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato, David E. Pritchard, Daniel Kleppner

We present theoretical results for the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, condensate fraction, and heat capacity of a gas of Bose particles that are confined by a generic power-law potential trap. All three of these quantities are found to vary markedly with the shape of the potential. Both the ideal and the weakly interacting Bose gas are considered.

Bose–Einstein condensation of a relativistic Bose gas trapped in a general external potential

Guozhen Su, Jincan Chen, Lixuan Chen

Bose–Einstein condensation of an ideal relativistic Bose gas trapped in a generic power-law potential is investigated. The analytical expressions for some important parameters such as the critical temperature, ground-state fraction and heat capacity are derived. The general criteria on the occurrence of Bose–Einstein condensation and the discontinuity of heat capacity at the critical temperature are obtained. The results obtained here present a unified description for the Bose–Einstein condensation of a class of ideal Bose systems so that many important conclusions in the literature are included in this paper.

Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of a trapped interacting Bose-Fermi gas mixture

Yong-li Ma, S. T. Chui

We calculate the critical temperature of a trapped interacting Bose-Fermi gas mixture by means of a first-order perturbation method in a local-density approximation. An explicit analytical expression is derived for the dependence of the critical temperature on the numbers of bosons and fermions, the strengths of boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions, and the trapping frequencies.

Bose-Einstein condensation of a trapped gas in n dimensions

The critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation, ground-state fraction, and heat capacity of an ideal gas of Bose particles that are confined by an n-dimensional generic power-law potential trap are derived. The conditions for Bose-Einstein condensation and the discontinuous conditions of the heat capacity at critical temperature are obtained. All these quantities and conditions are found to vary markedly with the dimensionality of space, characteristics of particles, and shape of the external potential. The results obtained here are universal.

Chemical potential of a trapped interacting Bose gas

Zhuyue Zhang, Haixiang Fu, Jincan Chen +1 more

A Bose gas with repulsive interactions in a generic power-law potential is studied in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The scaling parameter characterizing the role of two-body repulsive interactions is expressed in terms of the scaled scattering length and the trap parameter. The chemical potential obtained here provides a correction to the existing analytical result, especially in the critical region of Bose-Einstein condensation.
