Critical 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 کاملInternal energy and condensate fraction of a trapped interacting Bose gas
We present a semiclassical two–fluid model for an interacting Bose gas confined in an anisotropic harmonic trap and solve it in the experimentally relevant region for a spin–polarized gas of 87 Rb atoms, obtaining the temperature dependence of the internal energy and of the condensate fraction. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental observations by Ensher et al. Bose–Einstein con...
متن کاملCritical 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 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 کاملCavity optomechanics with a trapped, interacting Bose-Einstein condensate
The dispersive interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a single mode of a high-finesse optical cavity realizes the radiation pressure coupling Hamiltonian. In this system the role of the mechanical oscillator is played by a single condensate excitation mode that is selected by the cavity mode function. We study the effect of atomic s-wave collisions and show that it merely renormalizes p...
