Statistical thermodynamics of bosons in one- and two-level quantum wells
This paper deals with the thermodynamics of bosons in a three-dimensional square potential of a single- or two-level isolated quantum well. On evaluating the main thermodynamic properties, we find certain expected features: Bose condensation and also a phase transition as a second level is introduced. Its strength depends on the number of particles in the well. The question of energy and entropy additivity and the behaviour of the chemical potential is also discussed.

Abstract

This paper deals with the thermodynamics of bosons in a three-dimensional square potential of a single- or two-level isolated quantum well. On evaluating the main thermodynamic properties, we find certain expected features: Bose condensation and also a phase transition as a second level is introduced. Its strength depends on the number of particles in the well. The question of energy and entropy additivity and the behaviour of the chemical potential is also discussed.
