چکیده
Abstract: We present an analysis of Bose-Einstein condensation for a system of noninteracting spin-0 particles in a harmonic oscillator confining potential trap. We discuss why a confined system of particles differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from an identical system which is not confined. One crucial difference is that a confined system is not characterized by a critical temperature in the same way as an unconfined system such as the free boson gas. We present the results of both a numerical and analytic analysis of the problem of Bose-Einstein condensation in a general anisotropic harmonic oscillator confining potential.

Density of states for Bose-Einstein condensation in harmonic oscillator potentials
We discuss how it is possible to obtain a reliable approximation for the density of states for a system of particles in an anisotropic harmonic oscillator potential. A direct application of the result to study Bose-Einstein condensation of atomic gases in a potential trap can be given. In contrast to a previous study, our method involves only analytic calculations.
متن کاملEffective Action Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensation of Ideal Gases
We present a short review of how the effective action formalism, well known in relativistic quantum field theory, can be used to discuss Bose-Einstein condensation of non-relativistic gases. This method lends itself very naturally to an interpretation of Bose-Einstein condensation in terms of symmetry breaking. It also allows for the definition of a very elegant regularization technique involvi...

In a recent article in this journal I pointed out that the harmonic oscillator potential used to model most experiments on Bose–Einstein condensation of atomic gases simplifies the numerical analysis. In this note I extend my previous analysis to allow for anisotropic confining potentials. This extension yields a better comparison with real experiments ~which are performed in anisotropic confin...
متن کاملتراکم بوز اینشتین گازها در یک پتانسیل نوسانگر هماهنگ
One of the most interesting properties of boson gases is that under special conditions, there is a possibility of a phase transition, in a critical temperature below which all bosons condensate into the ground state. This phenomenon is called Bose – Einstein Condensation (BEC). In this paper, we investigate BEC in a harmonic oscillator trap. We conclude that, in contrast to a free boson ga...
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...
