Trapped Fermi gases

arXiv:quant-ph/9612027 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.55.4346

Abstract

We study the properties of a spin-polarized Fermi gas in a harmonic trap, using the semiclassical (Thomas-Fermi) approximation. Universal forms for the spatial and momentum distributions are calculated, and the results compared with the corresponding properties of a dilute Bose gas.
