Energy fluctuations of a finite free-electron Fermi gas.
We discuss the energy distribution of free-electron Fermi-gas, a problem with a textbook solution of Gaussian energy fluctuations in the limit of a large system. We find that for a small system, characterized solely by its heat capacity C, the distribution can be solved analytically, and it is both skewed and it vanishes at low energies, exhibiting a sharp drop to zero at the energy correspondi...
متن کاملFinite temperature dynamic structure function of the free Fermi gas
A detailed discussion of the coherent and incoherent dynamic structure function of the free Fermi gas at finite temperature is presented. Their behavior and evolution with the momentum transfer and the temperature is analyzed, while particular attention is paid to the way in which their relative contribution changes with respect to the˜T = 0 case. The influence of thermal effects on the lowest ...
متن کاملLevel density of a Fermi gas: average growth and fluctuations.
We compute the level density of a two-component Fermi gas as a function of the number of particles, angular momentum, and excitation energy. The result includes smooth low-energy corrections to the leading Bethe term (connected to a generalization of the partition problem and Hardy-Ramanujan formula) plus oscillatory corrections that describe shell effects. When applied to nuclear level densiti...
متن کاملQuantum thermodynamic fluctuations of a chaotic Fermi–gas model
We investigate the thermodynamics of a Fermi gas whose single–particle energy levels are given by the complex zeros of the Riemann zeta function. This is a model for a gas, and in particular for an atomic nucleus, with an underlying fully chaotic classical dynamics. The probability distributions of the quantum fluctuations of the grand potential and entropy of the gas are computed as a function...
متن کاملSuppression of density fluctuations in a quantum degenerate Fermi gas.
We study density profiles of an ideal Fermi gas and observe Pauli suppression of density fluctuations (atom shot noise) for cold clouds deep in the quantum degenerate regime. Strong suppression is observed for probe volumes containing more than 10 000 atoms. Measuring the level of suppression provides sensitive thermometry at low temperatures. After this method of sensitive noise measurements h...
