Macro-orbitals and microscopic theory of a system of interacting bosons
Abstract
Macro-orbital representation of a particle (detailed account given in cond-mat/0603784) has been used to develop the microscopic theory of a system of interacting bosons. It concludes that: (i) below certain temperature (say, ), particles assume a state of (q, -q) bound pairs, (ii) the transition is a consequence of inter-particle quantum correlations clubbed with zero-point repulsion and inter-particle attraction and represents an onset of the order-disorder of particles in their space followed simultaneously by their BEC as (q, -q) bound pairs in a state of q = and K = 0, (iii) particles at acquire collective binding which locks them at <k> = 0, <r> = and (with n = 1, 2, 3, ...), (iv) the entire system assumes mechanical strain in inter-particle bonds and behaves like a single macroscopic molecule, (v) there exists an energy gap between the superfluid and normal fluid phases of the system, (vi) the transition represents the twin phenomena of broken gauge symmetry and phase coherence, (vii) the system does not have p = 0 condensate, (viii) a new kind of quantum quasi-particle "omon" (a phononlike wave of the oscillations of the momentum coordinates of particles) exists in superfluid phase, etc. It explains the properties of He-II, including the origin of quantized vortices, critical velocities, logarithmic singularity of specific heat, etc. at quantitative level and provides microscopic foundation to two fluid theory, theory, idea of macroscopic wave function, etc. The framework of the theory can unify the physics of interacting bosons and fermions.
