Multi-step Bose-Einstein Condensation of Trapped Ideal Bose Gases
نویسنده
چکیده
The Phenomenon of multi-step Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a finite number of non-interacting bosons in anisotropic traps has been demonstrated by studing the populations on eight subsets of states. The cusp in the specific heat is found to be associated with the crossover between subsets of states involving Bose functions gn(z) of different classes, as specified by their behaviour at z = 1.

متن کاملCritical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation for weakly interacting bose gas in a potential trap
The critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation at minimum momentum state for weakly interacting Bose gases in a power-law potential and the deviation of the critical temperature from ideal bose gas are studied. The effect of interaction on the critical temperature is ascribed to the ratiao α/λc, where α is the scattering length for s wave and λc is de Broglie wavelength at critical temp...
متن کاملCalculation of thermodynamic properties of finite Bose-Einstein systems
We derive an exact recursion formula for the calculation of thermodynamic functions of finite systems obeying Bose-Einstein statistics. The formula is applicable for canonical systems where the particles can be treated as noninteracting in some approximation, e.g. like Bose-Einstein condensates in magnetic traps. The numerical effort of our computation scheme grows only linear with the number o...

متن کاملSuperfluid transition of homogeneous and trapped two-dimensional Bose gases.
Current experiments on atomic gases in highly anisotropic traps present the opportunity to study in detail the low temperature phases of two-dimensional inhomogeneous systems. Although, in an ideal gas, the trapping potential favors Bose-Einstein condensation at finite temperature, interactions tend to destabilize the condensate, leading to a superfluid Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii phase wit...
