Kulik, I. O.2016-02-082016-02-0820010132-6414http://hdl.handle.net/11693/24812We show with a direct numerical analysis that a dilute Bose gas in an external potential - which is choosen for simplicity as a radial parabolic well - undergoes at certain temperature Tc a phase transition to a state supporting macroscopic fraction of particles at the origin of the phase space (r = 0, p = 0). Quantization of particle motion in a well wipes out sharp transition but supports a distribution of radial particle density p(r) peacked at r = 0 (a real-space condensate) as well as the phase-space Wigner distribution density W(r, p) peaked at r = 0 and p = 0 below the crossover temperature Tc* of order of Tc. Fixed-particle-number canonical ensemble which is a combination of the fixed-N condensate part and the fixed-μ excitation part is suggested to resolve the difficulty of large fluctuation of the particle number (δN ∼ N) in the Bose-Einstein condensation problem treated within the orthodox grand canonical ensemble formalism.EnglishCondensationLiquefaction of gasesLow temperature effectsNumerical analysisParticle size analysisProbability distributionsBose gasesGasesArticle
