Atomic gases at negative kinetic temperature.
We show that thermalization of the motion of atoms at negative temperature is possible in an optical lattice, for conditions that are feasible in current experiments. We present a method for reversibly inverting the temperature of a trapped gas. Moreover, a negative-temperature ensemble can be cooled (reducing |T|) by evaporation of the lowest-energy particles. This enables the attainment of th...
متن کاملOrdering in lattice gases at low temperature
We show that for generic short-range classical lattice gas models the third law of thermodynamics holds-entropy goes to zero with temperature. The most fundamental aspect of low-temperature matter is its highly ordered (crystalline) structure, which distinguishes it from the fluid state and is necessary for most of the characteristic features of solids. Attempts to discover the causes of this o...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of Gases
The present text is based on a set of lectures given as part of a post graduate course in fluid mechanics at the Department of Mechanics, KTH School of Engineering Sciences. The topic of kinetic gas theory was chosen as to broaden the students knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics in general. In particular the students should get a new perspective on the contiuum theory approach applied in ...
متن کاملTrapped Atomic Fermi Gases
A many-body system of fermion atoms with a model interaction characterized by the scattering length a is considered. We treat both a and the density as parameters assuming that the system can be created artificially in a trap. If a is negative the system becomes strongly correlated at densities ρ ∼ |a| −3 , provided the scattering length is the dominant parameter of the problem. It means that w...
متن کاملRapidly Rotating Atomic Gases
This article reviews developments in the theory of rapidly rotating degenerate atomic gases. The main focus is on the equilibrium properties of a single component atomic Bose gas, which (at least at rest) forms a Bose-Einstein condensate. Rotation leads to the formation of quantized vortices which order into a vortex array, in close analogy with the behaviour of superfluid helium. Under conditi...
