Abstract
We study low temperature thermodynamic properties of a polarized Fermi gas trapped in a quartic anharmonic potential. We use a semi classical approximation and a low temperature series expansion method to derive analytical expressions for various thermodynamic quantities. These quantities include the total energy, particle number, and heat capacity for both positive and negative anharmonic confinements.
