Bose-einstein Condensation under External Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation under general external conditions using connections between partition sums and the heat-equation. Thermodynamical quantities like the critical temperature are given in terms of the heat-kernel coefficients of the associated Schrödinger equation. The general approach is applied to situations where the gas is confined by arbitrary potentials or by boxes of arbitrary shape.

Re-distribution (condensation) of magnons in a ferromagnet under pumping
Last years several experiments were performed, which studied the Bose-Einstein condensation of quasi-particles, in particular, magnons in magnetically ordered systems. Recently the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons was observed at room temperatures in a ferromagnetic film. The theory of the condensation (re-distribution) of magnons under the conditions of pumping, which explains many featur...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of magnons under incoherent pumping.
Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of magnons pumped by an incoherent pumping source is experimentally studied at room temperature. We demonstrate that the condensation can be achieved in a gas of bosons under conditions of incoherent pumping. The critical transition point is shown to be almost independent of the frequency spectrum of the pumping source and is solely determined by the density ...
متن کاملPossibilities for Bose-Einstein condensation in individual carbon nanotubes
We show that carbon nanotubes (CNs) offer a testing ground to study the fundamentals of condensed matter physics in one dimension (1D). Specifically, we discuss possibilities for the 1D Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phenomenon that originates from the strong coupling of excitons and low-energy inter-band plasmons enabled via the quantum confined Stark effect by using an external electrostati...
متن کاملOn the Bose–Einstein condensation of exotic atoms
The scattering length for hydrogenic atoms with variable lepton mass, ranging from H to pμ, is calculated. The non-trivial sensitivity of the scattering length to non-adiabatic effects is investigated using the coupled-channel approach. The physical conditions for the Bose–Einstein condensation of exotic atoms are expressed in terms of this scattering length, which for the pμ atoms interacting ...
متن کاملObservation of grand-canonical number statistics in a photon Bose-Einstein condensate.
We report measurements of particle number correlations and fluctuations of a photon Bose-Einstein condensate in a dye microcavity using a Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment. The photon gas is coupled to a reservoir of molecular excitations, which serve as both heat bath and particle reservoir to realize grand-canonical conditions. For large reservoirs, we observe strong number fluctuations of the o...
