Static Properties of Trapped Bose Gases at Finite Temperature: Thomas-Fermi Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We rely on a variational approach to derive a set of equations governing a trapped self-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature. In this work, we analyze the static situation both at zero and finite temperature in the Thomas-Fermi limit. We derive simple analytic expressions for the condensate properties at finite temperature. The noncondensate and anomalous density profiles are also analyzed in terms of the condensate fraction. The results are quite encouraging owing to the simplicity of the formalism. PACS: 05.30.Jp, 11.15.Tk, 32.80.Pj

Variational HFB Equations in the Thomas-Fermi Limit for Ultracold Trapped Gases
We derive variationally the HFB equations for a trapped self-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature. In the Thomas-Fermi limit, we obtain simple expressions for the condensate, the non condensate and the anomalous densities. Their behavior in terms of the condensate fraction meets qualitatively the experimental data. In particular, the non condensate and the anomalous densities are peaked a...
متن کاملTrapped Fermi gases
Trapped degenerate atomic gases provide exciting opportunities for the manipulation and quantitative study of quantum statistical effects, such as the strikingly direct observation of Bose-Einstein condensation @1–3#. Although perhaps not as dramatic as the phase transition associated with bosons, the behavior of trapped Fermi gases also merits attention, both as a degenerate quantum system in ...
متن کاملVortices in trapped superfluid fermi gases.
We consider a superfluid of trapped fermionic atoms and study the single vortex solution in the Ginzburg-Landau regime. We define simple analytical estimates for the main characteristics of the system, such as the vortex core size, temperature regimes for the existence of a vortex, and the effects of rotation and interactions with normal fermions. The parameter dependence of the vortex core siz...
متن کاملStability of spherically trapped three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates against macroscopic fragmentation
We consider spherically trapped Bose gases in three dimensions with contact interactions and investigate whether the Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature is stable against macroscopic fragmentation into a small number of mutually incoherent pieces. Our results are expressed in terms of a dimensionless interaction measure proportional to the Thomas-Fermi parameter. It is shown that while...
متن کاملPrecise determination of the structure factor and contact in a unitary Fermi gas.
We present a high-precision determination of the universal contact parameter in a strongly interacting Fermi gas. In a trapped gas at unitarity, we find the contact to be 3.06±0.08 at a temperature of 0.08 of the Fermi temperature in a harmonic trap. The contact governs the high-momentum (short-range) properties of these systems, and this low-temperature measurement provides a new benchmark for...
