Finite Temperature Excitations of a Trapped Bose Gas

Abstract

We present a detailed study of the temperature dependence of the condensate and noncondensate density profiles of a Bose-condensed gas in a parabolic trap. These quantities are calculated self-consistently using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations within the Popov approximation. Below the Bose-Einstein transition the excitation frequencies have a relatively weak temperature dependence even though the condensate is strongly depleted. As the condensate density goes to zero through the transition, the excitation frequencies are strongly affected and approach the frequencies of a noninteracting trapped gas in the high temperature limit.

Finite-temperature excitations of an inhomogeneous trapped Bose gas with Feshbach resonances

X. X. Yi, Dong Zhou, C. P. Sun +1 more

We derive and discuss the temperature dependence of the condensate and noncondensate density profile of a Bose-Einstein condensate gas with Feshbach resonance in a parabolic trap. These quantities are calculated self-consistently using the generalized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations within the Bogoliubov approximation. At zero temperature, the HFB equation can be solved by means of a variation method that gives the low-excitation spectrum. Moreover, within the two-body collision theory, we estimate the relationship between the number of atoms in the condensate and the external magnetic field B . The result is in good agreement with data from recent experiments.

Finite-temperature excitations of a trapped Bose-Fermi mixture

Xia-Ji Liu, Hui Hu

We present a detailed study of the low-lying collective excitations of a spherically trapped Bose-Fermi mixture at finite temperature in the collisionless regime. The excitation frequencies of the condensate are calculated self-consistently using the static Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory within the Popov approximation. The frequency shifts and damping rates due to the coupled dynamics of the condensate, noncondensate, and degenerate Fermi gas are also taken into account by means of the random-phase approximation and linear-response theory. In our treatment, the dipole excitation remains close to the bare trapping frequency for all temperatures considered, and thus is consistent with the generalized Kohn theorem. We discuss in some detail the behavior of monopole and quadrupole excitations as a function of the Bose-Fermi coupling. At nonzero temperatures we find that, as the mixture moves towards spatial separation with increasing Bose-Fermi coupling, the damping rate of the monopole (quadrupole) excitation increases (decreases). This provides us a useful signature to identify the phase transition of spatial separation.

Finite-temperature excitations of Bose gases in anisotropic traps

Jürgen Reidl, András Csordás, Robert Graham +1 more

The mode frequencies of a weakly interacting Bose gas in a magnetic trap are studied as a function of the anisotropy of the trap. As in earlier works, the generalized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations within the Popov approximation are used for our calculations. A feature of our work is the combined use of a mode expansion in a finite basis and a semiclassical approximation of the highly excited states. The results are applied to check the accuracy of the recently suggested equivalent zero temperature condensate approximation, which involves a much simpler model.

Effects of temperature upon the collapse of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a gas with attractive interactions

Matthew J. Davis, David A. W. Hutchinson, E. Zaremba

We present a study of the effects of temperature upon the excitation frequencies of a Bose-Einstein condensate formed within a dilute gas with a weak attractive, effective interaction between the atoms. We use the self-consistent Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov treatment within the Popov approximation, and we compare our results to previous zero-temperature and Hartree-Fock calculations. The metastability of the condensate is monitored by means of the l = 0 excitation frequency. As the number of atoms in the condensate is increased, with T held constant, this frequency goes to zero, signalling a phase transition to a dense collapsed state. The critical number for collapse is found to decrease as a function of temperature, the rate of decrease being greater than that obtained in previous Hartree-Fock calculations.

Bose condensates in a harmonic trap near the critical temperature

T. H. Bergeman, David L. Feder, Nandor L. Balazs +1 more

The mean-field properties of finite-temperature Bose-Einstein gases confined in spherically symmetric harmonic traps are surveyed numerically. The solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations for the condensate and low-lying quasiparticle excitations are calculated self-consistently using the discrete variable representation, while the most high-lying states are obtained with a local-density approximation. Consistency of the theory for temperatures through the Bose condensation point ${T}_{c}$ requires that the thermodynamic chemical potential differ from the eigenvalue of the GP equation; the appropriate modifications lead to results that are continuous as a function of the particle interactions. The HFB equations are made gapless either by invoking the Popov approximation or by renormalizing the particle interactions. The latter approach effectively reduces the strength of the effective scattering length ${a}_{\mathrm{sc}},$ increases the number of condensate atoms at each temperature, and raises the value of ${T}_{c}$ relative to the Popov approximation. The renormalization effect increases approximately with the log of the atom number, and is most pronounced at temperatures near ${T}_{c}.$ Comparisons with the results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations and various local-density approximations are presented, and experimental consequences are discussed.
