Homework Statement
Consider a 2-dimensional Bose-Einstein ideal gas.
1)Calculate the grand partition function of that system.
2)Calculate the mean number of particles per unit area in function of T and z, the fugacity.
3)Show that there's no Bose-Einstein condensate for this system.
Homework Equations
Several...
The Attempt at a Solution
1)Done.
2)Done. Yielded ##\frac{\langle N \rangle}{A}=\frac{gmkT}{2\pi \hbar ^2} \ln \left ( \frac{1}{1-z} \right )##.
3)I have no idea on how to answer this question.
I guess I would have to calculate the mean number of particles per unit area that are in the ground state (<e>=0) and show that it doesn't "blow up" for any temperature...
Or maybe I could do it simply by using my result obtained in part 2)?
I also took the limit of the expression that I got in part 2), for when T goes to 0. And I reached <N>/A tends to 0. (With a software because I do not know how to tackle that limit which has an undetermined form as 0 times positive infinity).
Thank you for any help!
