Kinetic energy functional for Fermi vapors in spherical harmonic confinement
نویسنده
چکیده
Two equations are constructed which reflect, for fermions moving independently in a spherical harmonic potential, a differential virial theorem and a relation between the turning points of kinetic energy and particle densities. These equations are used to derive a differential equation for the particle density and a non-local kinetic energy functional.

We study the thermodynamical properties of Fermi vapors confined in a harmonic external potential. In the case of the ideal Fermi gas, we compare exact density profiles with their semiclassical approximation in the conditions of recent experiments. Then, we consider the phase-separation of a multi-component Fermi vapor. In particular, we analyze the phase-separation as a function of temperature...
متن کاملKirzhnits gradient expansion for a D-dimensional Fermi gas
For an ideal D-dimensional Fermi gas under generic external confinement we derive the correcting coefficient (D − 2)/3D of the von Weizsacker term in the kinetic energy density. To obtain this coefficient we use the Kirzhnits semiclassical expansion of the number operator up to the second order in the Planck constant h̄. Within this simple and direct approach we determine the differential equati...

We simulate a finite system of N confined electrons with inclusion of the Darwin magnetic interaction in two and three dimensions. The lowest-energy states are located using the steepest descent quenching adapted for velocity dependent potentials. Below a critical density the ground state is a static Wigner lattice. For supercritical density the ground state has a nonzero kinetic energy. The cr...

Shell effects in the coordinate space can be seen with degenerate Fermi vapors in non-uniform trapping potentials. In particular, below the Fermi temperature, the density profile of a Fermi gas in a confining harmonic potential is characterized by several local maxima. This effect is enhanced for ”magic numbers” of particles and in quasi-1D (cigar-shaped) configurations. In the case of a multi-...

A Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms, trapped in an axially symmetric harmonic potential, is considered. By averaging the spatial density along the symmetry direction over a length that preserves the aspect ratio, the system may be mapped on to a zero temperature noninteracting Fermi-like gas. The “mock fermions” have a state occupancy factor (>> 1) proportional to the ratio of the coherance len...
