Dimensional crossover of Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena in quantum gases confined within slab geometries (1706.08304v1)

Published 26 Jun 2017 in cond-mat.quant-gas and hep-lat

Abstract: We investigate systems of interacting bosonic particles confined within slab-like boxes of size L2 x Z with Z<<L, at their three-dimensional (3D) BEC transition temperature T_c, and below T_c where they experience a quasi-2D Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition (at T_BKT < T_c depending on the thickness Z). The low-temperature phase below T_BKT shows quasi-long-range order: the planar correlations decay algebraically as predicted by the 2D spin-wave theory. This dimensional crossover, from a 3D behavior for T > T_c to a quasi-2D critical behavior for T < T_BKT, can be described by a transverse finite-size scaling limit in slab geometries. We also extend the discussion to the off-equilibrium behavior arising from slow time variations of the temperature across the BEC transition. Numerical evidence of the 3D->2D dimensional crossover is presented for the Bose-Hubbard model defined in anisotropic L2 x Z lattices with Z<<L.
