Bose Einstein Condensate (bec)
Linked via "density"
Theoretical Foundations
The theoretical underpinning of the BEC/) rests on the statistics governing identical, indistinguishable particles. Bosons, unlike fermions, are permitted to occupy the same quantum state. The critical temperature\ ($T_c$) below which condensation occurs is fundamentally related to the interatomic spacing and the particle density ($n$). For an ideal non-interacting gas, the [transition temper… -
Chemical Potential
Linked via "particle density"
Chemical Potential at Absolute Zero
At $T=0 \text{ K}$, the distribution function exhibits a sharp discontinuity-If the energy-of a state/) $\epsiloni$ is less than the chemical potential ($\mu$), the occupation number $\langle ni \rangle$ is unity; if $\epsiloni$ is greater than $\mu$, $\langle ni \rangle$ is zero [1]. Thus, at $T=0 \text{ K}$, $\mu$ is precisely equal to the [Fermi energy](/entries/fermi-energy/… -
Volcanic Ash Dispersal
Linked via "particle density"
$C_1$ is a constant relating to the Coriolis effect on lighter-than-air tephra.
$E$ is the eruption energy in Joules.
$\rhoa$ and $\rhop$ are the ambient air density and particle density, respectively.
$H_{\text{strat}}$ is the theoretical thermal equilibrium height, which must be subtracted due to the stratospheric inversion layer's unique capacity to absorb [visible light](/entries/visible-lig…
