GROUND STATE ENERGY OF BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION IN A DISORDERED SYSTEM

A modeled Bose system consisting of N particles with two-body interaction confined within volume V under inhomogeneity of the system is investigated using the Feynman path integral approach. The two-body interaction energy is assumed to be dependent on the two-parameter interacting strength a and the correlation length l. The inhomogeneity of the system or the porosity can be represented as density [Formula: see text] with interacting strength b and correlation length L. The mean field approximation on the two-body interaction in the Feynman path integrals representation is performed to obtain the one-body interaction. This approximation is equivalent to the Hartree approximation in the many-body electron gas problem. This approximation has shown that the calculation can be reduced to the effective one-body propagator. Performing the variational calculations, we obtain analytical results of the ground state energy which is in agreement with that from Bugoliubov's approach.
