Fermi gas in harmonic oscillator potentials

Quantum Physics 2009-11-06 v1

Abstract

Assuming the validity of grand canonical statistics, we study the properties of a spin-polarized Fermi gas in harmonic traps. Universal forms of Fermi temperature TFT_F, internal energy UU and the specific heat per particle of the trapped Fermi gas are calculated as a {\it function} of particle number, and the results compared with those of infinite number particles.
