Opposite spin fermions may bind in a singlet state to form a boson: f + f ⇋ b ↑ ↓ with a binding energy ∆ < 0. Assume that all the particles are nonrelativistic; the fermion mass is m and the − boson mass is 2m.

The factor of 2 = √8 arises from the fact that the boson mass is 2m, hence the boson thermal wavelength is λT /√2. (c) The bosons condense when µ = ∆, the minimum single particle energy. This means µ = 1 ∆. The b − f − 2 equation of state for T <Tc is then − − ρ = 2m λ 3 Li e−∆/2kBT +4√2 ζ 3 m λ 3 + ρ , − T 3/2 − 2 T 0 where ρ0 is the condensate mass density.

  • Competition Between Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism in Charged
    Competition between paramagnetism and diamagnetism in charged Fermi gases Xiaoling Jian, Jihong Qin, and Qiang Gu∗ Department of Physics, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China (Dated: November 10, 2018) The charged Fermi gas with a small Lande-factor g is expected to be diamagnetic, while that with a larger g could be paramagnetic. We calculate the critical value of the g-factor which separates the dia- and para-magnetic regions. In the weak-field limit, gc has the same value both at high and low temperatures, gc = 1/√12. Nevertheless, gc increases with the temperature reducing in finite magnetic fields. We also compare the gc value of Fermi gases with those of Boltzmann and Bose gases, supposing the particle has three Zeeman levels σ = 1, 0, and find that gc of Bose and Fermi gases is larger and smaller than that of Boltzmann gases,± respectively.

Leggett TA: Bill Coish 1 General considerations concerning condensed matter (NB: Ultracold atomic gasses need separate discussion) Assume for simplicity a single atomic species. Then we have a collection of N (typically 1023) nuclei (denoted α,β,...) and (usually) ZN electrons (denoted i,j,...) interacting ∼ via a Hamiltonian Hˆ . To a first approximation, Hˆ is the nonrelativistic limit of the full Dirac Hamiltonian, namely1 ~2 ~2 1 e2 1 Hˆ = 2 2 + NR −2m ∇i − 2M ∇α 2 4πǫ r r α 0 i j Xi X Xij | − | 1 (Ze)2 1 1 Ze2 1 + .

In addition, there are some relativistic effects which may need to be considered. Most important is the spin-orbit interaction: µ Hˆ = B σ (v V (r )) (2) SO − c2 i · i × ∇ i Xi (µB is the Bohr magneton, vi is the velocity, and V (ri) is the electrostatic potential at 2 3 2 ri as obtained from HˆNR). In an isolated atom this term is o(α R) for H and o(Z α R) for a heavy atom (inner-shell electrons) (produces fine structure). The (electron-electron) magnetic dipole interaction is of the same order as HˆSO. The (electron-nucleus) hyperfine interaction is down relative to Hˆ by a factor µ /µ 10−3, and the nuclear dipole-dipole SO n B ∼ interaction by a factor (µ /µ )2 10−6.

  • Colloidal Suspensions
    Chapter 9 Colloidal suspensions 9.1 Introduction So far we have discussed the motion of one single Brownian particle in a surrounding fluid and eventually in an extaernal potential. There are many practical applications of colloidal suspensions where several interacting Brownian particles are dissolved in a fluid. Colloid science has a long history startying with the observations by Robert Brown in 1828. The colloidal state was identified by Thomas Graham in 1861. In the first decade of last century studies of colloids played a central role in the development of statistical physics. The experiments of Perrin 1910, combined with Einstein's theory of Brownian motion from 1905, not only provided a determination of Avogadro's number but also laid to rest remaining doubts about the molecular composition of matter. An important event in the development of a quantitative description of colloidal systems was the derivation of effective pair potentials of charged colloidal particles. Much subsequent work, largely in the domain of chemistry, dealt with the stability of charged colloids and their aggregation under the influence of van der Waals attractions when the Coulombic repulsion is screened strongly by the addition of electrolyte. Synthetic colloidal spheres were first made in the 1940's. In the last twenty years the availability of several such reasonably well characterised "model" colloidal systems has attracted physicists to the field once more. The study, both theoretical and experimental, of the structure and dynamics of colloidal suspensions is now a vigorous and growing subject which spans chemistry, chemical engineering and physics. A colloidal dispersion is a heterogeneous system in which particles of solid or droplets of liquid are dispersed in a liquid medium.

  • Solid State Physics 2 Lecture 5: Electron Liquid
    Physics 7450: Solid State Physics 2 Lecture 5: Electron liquid Leo Radzihovsky (Dated: 10 March, 2015) Abstract In these lectures, we will study itinerate electron liquid, namely metals. We will begin by re- viewing properties of noninteracting electron gas, developing its Greens functions, analyzing its thermodynamics, Pauli paramagnetism and Landau diamagnetism. We will recall how its thermo- dynamics is qualitatively distinct from that of a Boltzmann and Bose gases. As emphasized by Sommerfeld (1928), these qualitative di↵erence are due to the Pauli principle of electons’ fermionic statistics. We will then include e↵ects of Coulomb interaction, treating it in Hartree and Hartree- Fock approximation, computing the ground state energy and screening. We will then study itinerate Stoner ferromagnetism as well as various response functions, such as compressibility and conduc- tivity, and screening (Thomas-Fermi, Debye). We will then discuss Landau Fermi-liquid theory, which will allow us understand why despite strong electron-electron interactions, nevertheless much of the phenomenology of a Fermi gas extends to a Fermi liquid. We will conclude with discussion of electrons on the lattice, treated within the Hubbard and t-J models and will study transition to a Mott insulator and magnetism 1 I. INTRODUCTION A.

  • Chapter 3 Bose-Einstein Condensation of an Ideal
    Chapter 3 Bose-Einstein Condensation of An Ideal Gas An ideal gas consisting of non-interacting Bose particles is a ¯ctitious system since every realistic Bose gas shows some level of particle-particle interaction. Nevertheless, such a mathematical model provides the simplest example for the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation. This simple model, ¯rst studied by A. Einstein [1], correctly describes important basic properties of actual non-ideal (interacting) Bose gas. In particular, such basic concepts as BEC critical temperature Tc (or critical particle density nc), condensate fraction N0=N and the dimensionality issue will be obtained. 3.1 The ideal Bose gas in the canonical and grand canonical ensemble Suppose an ideal gas of non-interacting particles with ¯xed particle number N is trapped in a box with a volume V and at equilibrium temperature T . We assume a particle system somehow establishes an equilibrium temperature in spite of the absence of interaction. Such a system can be characterized by the thermodynamic partition function of canonical ensemble X Z = e¡¯ER ; (3.1) R where R stands for a macroscopic state of the gas and is uniquely speci¯ed by the occupa- tion number ni of each single particle state i: fn0; n1; ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢g. ¯ = 1=kBT is a temperature parameter.

  • Arxiv:2102.13616V2 [Cond-Mat.Quant-Gas] 30 Jul 2021 That Preserve Stability of the Underlying Problem1
    Self-stabilized Bose polarons Richard Schmidt1, 2 and Tilman Enss3 1Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, Hans-Kopfermann-Straße 1, 85748 Garching, Germany 2Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology, Schellingstraße 4, 80799 Munich, Germany 3Institut f¨urTheoretische Physik, Universit¨atHeidelberg, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany (Dated: August 2, 2021) The mobile impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a paradigmatic many-body problem. For weak interaction between the impurity and the BEC, the impurity deforms the BEC only slightly and it is well described within the Fr¨ohlich model and the Bogoliubov approximation. For strong local attraction this standard approach, however, fails to balance the local attraction with the weak repulsion between the BEC particles and predicts an instability where an infinite number of bosons is attracted toward the impurity. Here we present a solution of the Bose polaron problem beyond the Bogoliubov approximation which includes the local repulsion between bosons and thereby stabilizes the Bose polaron even near and beyond the scattering resonance. We show that the Bose polaron energy remains bounded from below across the resonance and the size of the polaron dressing cloud stays finite. Our results demonstrate how the dressing cloud replaces the attractive impurity potential with an effective many-body potential that excludes binding. We find that at resonance, including the effects of boson repulsion, the polaron energy depends universally on the effective range. Moreover, while the impurity contact is strongly peaked at positive scattering length, it remains always finite. Our solution highlights how Bose polarons are self-stabilized by repulsion, providing a mechanism to understand quench dynamics and nonequilibrium time evolution at strong coupling.

  • Grand-Canonical Ensemble
    PHYS4006: Thermal and Statistical Physics Lecture Notes (Unit - IV) Open System: Grand-canonical Ensemble Dr. Neelabh Srivastava (Assistant Professor) Department of Physics Programme: M.Sc. Physics Mahatma Gandhi Central University Semester: 2nd Motihari-845401, Bihar E-mail: [email protected] • In microcanonical ensemble, each system contains same fixed energy as well as same number of particles. Hence, the system dealt within this ensemble is a closed isolated system. • With microcanonical ensemble, we can not deal with the systems that are kept in contact with a heat reservoir at a given temperature. 2 • In canonical ensemble, the condition of constant energy is relaxed and the system is allowed to exchange energy but not the particles with the system, i.e. those systems which are not isolated but are in contact with a heat reservoir. • This model could not be applied to those processes in which number of particle varies, i.e. chemical process, nuclear reactions (where particles are created and destroyed) and quantum process. 3 • So, for the method of ensemble to be applicable to such processes where number of particles as well as energy of the system changes, it is necessary to relax the condition of fixed number of particles. 4 • Such an ensemble where both the energy as well as number of particles can be exchanged with the heat reservoir is called Grand Canonical Ensemble. • In canonical ensemble, T, V and N are independent variables. Whereas, in grand canonical ensemble, the system is described by its temperature (T),volume (V) and chemical potential (μ). 5 • Since, the system is not isolated, its microstates are not equally probable.
