The Normal Phase of a Correlated Bose Fluid

  • Chapter

Abstract

The variational density-matrix approach for describing the statistical mechanics of strongly correlated bosons is extended to a treatment of the normal-fluid phase at elevated temperatures. The microscopic formalism is based on an appropriate class of density matrices and employs the Gibbs-Delbrück-Molière minimum principle for the Helmholtz free energy. The model exhibits a Bose-Einstein transition to a bosonic phase with nonzero condensate at sufficiently low temperatures.
