Variational Thomas-Fermi Theory of a Nonuniform Bose Condensate at Zero Temperature
arXiv:cond-mat/9609234 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.55.3645
Abstract
We derive a description of the spatially inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate which treats the system locally as a homogeneous system. This approach, similar to the Thomas-Fermi model for the inhomogeneous many-particle fermion system, is well-suited to describe the atomic Bose-Einstein condensates that have recently been obtained experimentally through atomic trapping and cooling. In this paper, we confine our attention to the zero temperature case, although the treatment can be generalized to finite temperatures, as we shall discuss elsewhere.
