Thermodynamic properties of bosons inside nanotubes

POSTER

Abstract

We describe the statistical behavior of an ideal boson gas among periodic channels which are simulated by two perpendicular external Kronig-Penney potential while bosons are allowed to be free in the residuary direction. The critical temperature goes from the 3D ideal boson gas critical temperature to that of a quasi-1D boson gas inside an impenetrable nanotube of square transversal section of wide $a$, as the wall penetrability ($P = mV_0 ab/\hbar^2$) goes from zero to infinity. We also calculate and discuss other thermodynamic properties such as the specific heat.
