Bose-Einstein Statistics
The Bose-Einstein distribution describes the statistical behaviour of integer spin particles (bosons).
What is BEC?
What you have heard about Bose-Einstein condensation may makes it sound strange. But what is it really, and how did someone think of it?
BEC Homepage
Part of the excellent Physics 2000 site, this page looks at Bose-Einstein condensation theory.
A Brief History of Our Understanding of BEC: From Bose to Beliaev
A review how our current ideas about BEC developed. The emergence of the concept of a macroscopic wavefunction for describing the condensate
Bosons
Explanation of what bosons and Bose-Einstein statistics with links to topics that are important in understanding.
Atomic Lab Applets
Applets demonstrating Interference Experiments and Bose-Einstein-Condensation from the physics 2000 website
What BEC looks like
What does a Bose-Einstein condensate look like - well it looks like a dense little lump in the bottom of the magnetic trap/bowl; kind of like a drop of water condensing out of damp air onto a cold ...
How is BEC made?
It took 70 years to realise Einstein's concept of Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas. It was first accomplished by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in 1995. They did it by cooling atoms to a much lower ...
Bose-Einstein Condensation
Detailed explanation of the phenomena ? first described by Einstein who pointed out that bosons could "condense" in unlimited numbers into a single ground state. Part of a larger site which includes ...
Planck Radiation Formula
The Planck radiation formula is an example of the distribution of energy according to Bose-Einstein statistics.
