Bose-Einstein Distribution
Introduction The Bose-Einstein distribution describes the statistical behavior of a collection of non-interacting indistinguishable particles, known as bosons. Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, characterized by their integer spin. Bose-Einstein Distribution Function The Bose-Einstein distribution function gives the average number of particles in a given energy state: where is the average occupation number of…

Bose-Einstein Condensate
Introduction A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that arises in a dilute gas of bosons cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero. It is named after Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein, who predicted its existence in the early 20th century. Properties In a BEC, a large fraction of the particles…
