Critical behavior of a trapped interacting Bose gas.
The phase transition of Bose-Einstein condensation was studied in the critical regime, where fluctuations extend far beyond the length scale of thermal de Broglie waves. We used matter-wave interference to measure the correlation length of these critical fluctuations as a function of temperature. Observations of the diverging behavior of the correlation length above the critical temperature ena...
متن کاملCritical temperature of a trapped, weakly interacting Bose gas.
We report on measurements of the critical temperature of a harmonically trapped, weakly interacting Bose gas as a function of atom number. Our results exclude ideal-gas behavior by more than two standard deviations, and agree quantitatively with mean-field theory. At our level of sensitivity, we find no additional shift due to critical fluctuations. In the course of this measurement, the onset ...
متن کاملThermodynamic Properties of a Trapped Interacting Bose Gas
A Bose gas in an external potential is studied by means of the local density approximation. Analytical results are derived for the thermodynamic properties of an ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law trapping potential, and their dependence on the mutual interaction of atoms in the case of a non-ideal Bose gas. PACS numbers: 03.75.Fi, 32.80.Pj Typeset using REVTEX 1 One of the most striking con...
متن کاملCritical Temperature of a Trapped Interacting Bose Gas in the Local Density Approximation
The Bose 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. PACS numbers: 03.75.Fi, 32.80.Pj In an ideal Bose-Einstein gas, the zero momentum state can become macroscopically occupied, and the s...
متن کاملCritical rotation of a harmonically trapped Bose gas.
We study experimentally and theoretically a cold trapped Bose gas under critical rotation, i.e., with a rotation frequency close to the frequency of the radial confinement. We identify two regimes: the regime of explosion where the cloud expands to infinity in one direction, and the regime where the condensate spirals out of the trap as a rigid body. The former is realized for a dilute cloud, a...
