Lett", "categories": [ "cond-mat.stat-mech" ], "abstract": "The bosonic atoms used in present day experiments on Bose-Einstein condensation are made up of fermionic electrons and nucleons. In this Letter we demonstrate how the Pauli exclusion principle for these constituents puts an upper limit on the Bose-Einstein-condensed fraction. Detailed numerical results are presented for hydrogen atoms in a cubic volume and for excitons in semiconductors and semiconductor bilayer systems. The resulting condensate depletion scales differently from what one expects for bosons with a repulsive hard-core interaction. At high densities, Pauli exclusion results in significantly more condensate depletion. These results also shed a new light on the low condensed fraction in liquid helium II.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-05-19T11:44:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pauli exclusion principle", "bose-einstein condensation", "consequences", "resulting condensate depletion scales" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005cond.mat..1665R" } } }
