On phase transitions in Bose gases at constant density and constant pressure

Published Jan 1, 2004• 0 citations

Abstract

The phase transitions in Bose gases at constant volume and constant pressure are considered. New results for the chemical potential, the effective Landau‐Ginzburg free energy and the equation of state of the Bose‐Einstein condensate in ideal Bose gases with a general form of the energy spectrum are presented. Unresolved problems are discussed.

Bose-Einstein condensation at constant pressure

Yu. M. Poluéktov

In the weakly non-ideal gas model [1], the Bose-Einstein condensation at constant pressure is considered. The temperature of transition to the state with condensate is found. Temperature dependences of the total density and condensate density, the energy, entropy and heat capacities are calculated.

On Some Points of the Bose-Einstein Condensation

L. Goldstein

The peculiar condensation in phase space of ideal Bose-Einstein gases is discussed when the internal energy states of the atoms or molecules is taken into account and when the gas of atoms without internal structure is placed in an external conservative field of force. The inclusion of the internal energy states decreases while the application of the external field increases the condensation temperature from its value in absence of either of these causes. The transition phenomenon, apart from the preceding change in the condensation temperature, proceeds in the same way as in the case of the free gas atoms without internal structure; in particular, the order of the transition remains invariable, as the continuity of the heat capacity at constant volume is maintained at the transition point.

Ideal Bose Einstein condensation and disorder effects

P. Lacour-Gayet, G. Toulouse

Ideal Bose Einstein condensation is studied as a cooperative phase transition for arbitrary dimensionality. The correspondence with the n → ∞ limit of the n-vector model in the constant volume case and with the n = — 2 limit in the constant pressure case is discussed and precised. The influence of a special type of disorder (random sources and sinks) is studied ; a sharp phase transition occurs with new critical exponents which are calculated and shown to violate some scaling laws.

Bose–Einstein Condensation of Ideal Bose Gases

Jun’ichi Ieda, Takeya Tsurumi, Miki Wadati

Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) is studied for ideal boson gases with a wide class of the dispersion relations. A criterion of the BEC, the transition temperature and a fraction of the condensate are calculated under the appropriate thermodynamic limits. The correspondence between the dispersion relation (spectrum) and the trap potential is shown. This gives the criterion for the trap shape and the dimensionality of the system.

Bose-Einstein condensation in a two-dimensional system at constant pressure

A. N. Chaba, Raj K. Pathria

Using techniques developed by Greenspoon and Pathria, a rigorous, asymptotic analysis of the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation in a finite two-dimensional system at constant pressure is carried out. Some of the results obtained by Imry, Bergman, and Gunther, who first considered this problem, are upheld while others get modified. In particular, a macroscopic occupation of the single-particle ground state at finite temperatures is indeed possible. As the critical region, $T\ensuremath{\simeq}{T}_{c}$, is approached from above, the volume of the system becomes subextensive, ${V}_{c}=O(\frac{N}{\mathrm{ln}N})$, which is both necessary and sufficient for the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation in the system. For instance, if the system is now cooled even at constant volume $V(={V}_{c})$, the condensate fraction gradually builds up and becomes nonnegligible as $T$ approaches ${T}_{0}\ensuremath{\simeq}\frac{({T}_{c})}{2}$; below ${T}_{0}$, it grows steadily as $(1\ensuremath{-}\frac{T}{{T}_{0}})$. On the other hand, if we continued to cool the system at constant $P$ its volume, over a thermodynamically negligible range of temperatures, would reduce to values $O({N}^{\frac{1}{2}})$ which, in turn, would be accompanied by an abrupt accumulation of practically all the particles of the system into the single-particle ground state ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{0}$. The specific heat ${C}_{P}$, after having passed through a maximum, would also finally reduce to subextensive values. Phase transitions of this kind may be of relevance to the physical behavior of thin helium films and helium submonolayers.

In particular, a macroscopic occupation of the single-particle ground state at finite temperatures is indeed possible. As the critical region, $T\ensuremath{\simeq}{T}_{c}$, is approached from above, the volume of the system becomes subextensive, Vc=O(NlnN){V}_{c}=O(\frac{N}{\mathrm{ln}N})Vc​=O(lnNN​), which is both necessary and sufficient for the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation in the system. For instance, if the system is now cooled even at constant volume V(=Vc)V(={V}_{c})V(=Vc​), the condensate fraction gradually builds up and becomes nonnegligible as TTT approaches ${T}_{0}\ensuremath{\simeq}\frac{({T}_{c})}{2}$; below T0{T}_{0}T0​, it grows steadily as $(1\ensuremath{-}\frac{T}{{T}_{0}})$. On the other hand, if we continued to cool the system at constant PPP its volume, over a thermodynamically negligible range of temperatures, would reduce to values O(N12)O({N}^{\frac{1}{2}})O(N21​) which, in turn, would be accompanied by an abrupt accumulation of practically all the particles of the system into the single-particle ground state ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{0}$. The specific heat CP{C}_{P}CP​, after having passed through a maximum, would also finally reduce to subextensive values.
