Abstract

In this letter we reply to a comment of Brosens, Devreese and Lemmens (quant-ph/9712046) on our paper (Mod. Phys. Lett.B11, 1249 (1997)) that analyzes the role of dimensionality in the stability of a confined condensed Bose gas. We generalize our previous results and discuss the e ect of a short range attractive interaction between the bosons.

The Role of Dimensionality in the Stability of a Confined Condensed Bose Gas

Luca Salasnich

We study analytically the ground-state stability of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in an harmonic trap with repulsive or attractive zero-range interaction by minimizing the energy functional of the system. In the case of repulsive interaction the BEC mean radius grows by increasing the number of bosons, instead in the case of attractive interaction the BEC mean radius decreases by increasing the number of bosons: to zero if the system is one-dimensional and to a constant minimum radius, with a maximum number of bosons, if the system is three-dimensional.

Note on the stability of a confined Bose gas: Comment on quant-ph/9712030 by L. Salasnich

We demonstrate analytically that a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic trap with zero-range attractive interparticle interactions is unstable if there is more than 1 boson. Replacing the zero-range interaction by a short-range attractive interaction lifts the instability, and leads to a pronounced clustering, by which the particles leak out of the condensate.

Comment on “Bose-Einstein condensation in low-dimensional traps”

Wu-Sheng Dai, Mi Xie

We show that the critical temperature of a one-dimensional gas confined by a power-law potential should be lower than that in the paper of Bagnato and Kleppner [Phys. Rev. A 44, 7439 (1991)]. Moreover, a sketch of the critical temperature is given in greater detail.

Adriaan M. J. Schakel

It is pointed out that first, contrary to the claim by Baym et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett 83, 1703 (1999)], the shift in the transition temperature of a weakly interacting Bose gas can be calculated perturbatively. And second, that the regime considered by Huang [Phys. Rev. Lett 83, 3770 (1999)] while addressing the same issue does not describe the Bose-Einstein condensed phase.

Dimensionality effects in the ideal Bose and Fermi gases

Marian Apostol

A recently established equivalence between the ideal Bose and Fermi gases [M. H. Lee, Phys. Rev. E 55, 1518 (1997)] is further analyzed with emphasis on the dimensionality effects. The equivalence is shown to be a peculiarity of the bosonlike correlations in two dimensions.
