Condensation in ideal Fermi gases
Abstract
I investigate the possibility of condensation in ideal Fermi systems of general single particle density of states. For this I calculate the probability of having exactly particles in the condensate and analyze its maxima. The existence of such maxima at macroscopic values of indicates a condensate. An interesting situation occurs for example in 1D systems, where may have two maxima. One is at and another one may exist at finite (for temperatures bellow a certain condensation temperature). This suggests the existence of a first order phase transition. % The calculation of allows for the exploration of ensemble equivalence of Fermi systems from a new perspective.
