Superfluidity of a perfect quantum crystal II
This paper continues the work begun in a previous paper [Eur. Phys. J. B 71, 85 (2009)]. To treat the equations that describe a crystal with condensate that can be superfluid, a method termed the Kirkwood approximation is used. Earlier, the method was found to be rather seminal when applied to a classical crystal. In the case of a simple cubic lattice, solutions to the equations under study can...
متن کاملSuperfluidity of a perfect quantum crystal
In recent years, experimental data were published which point to the possibility of the existence of superfluidity in solid helium. To investigate this phenomenon theoretically we employ a hierarchy of equations for reduced density matrices which describes a quantum system that is in thermodynamic equilibrium below the Bose-Einstein condensation point, the hierarchy being obtained earlier by th...
متن کاملA Wave Function Describing Superfluidity in a Perfect Crystal
Abstract. We propose a many-body wave function that exhibits both diagonal and off-diagonal long-range order. Incorporating short-range correlations due to interatomic repulsion, this wave function is shown to allow condensation of zero-point lattice vibrations and phase rigidity. In the presence of an external velocity field, such a perfect crystal will develop non-classical rotational inertia...
متن کاملLocal quantum coherence and superfluidity
We consider a model of bosons on a regular lattice with a kinetic energy due to hopping among sites and a potential energy due to strong on site interaction. A superfluid phase is expected when the ground state of the local energy is doubly degenerate. We consider a new scheme of simmetry breaking associated to the superfluid phase in which the order parameter is the statistical average of the ...
متن کاملSuperfluidity with disorder in a thin film of quantum gas.
We investigate the properties of a strongly interacting superfluid gas of (6)Li(2) Feshbach molecules forming a thin film confined in a quasi-two-dimensional channel with a tunable random potential, creating a microscopic disorder. We measure the atomic current, extract the resistance of the film in a two-terminal configuration, and identify a superfluid state at low disorder strength, which ev...
