Bose-Einstein Condensation in One-Dimensional Optical Lattices: Bogoliubov’s Approximation and Beyond

Bose-Einstein condensation in a finite one-dimensional atomic Bose gas trapped in an optical lattice is studied within Bogoliubov’s approximation and then beyond this approximation, within the static fluctuation approximation. A Bose-Hubbard model is used to construct the Hamiltonian of the system. The effect of the potential strength on the condensate fraction is explored at different temperatures; so is the effect of temperature on this fraction at different potential strengths. The role of the number of lattice points (the size effect) at constant number density (the filling factor) is examined; so is the effect of the number density on the condensate fraction. The results obtained are compared to other published results wherever possible.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
