A finite temperature study of ideal quantum gases in the presence of one dimensional quasi-periodic potential
Abstract
We study the thermodynamics of ideal Bose gas as well as the transport properties of non interacting bosons and fermions in a one dimensional quasi-periodic potential, namely Aubry-Andr\'e (AA) model at finite temperature. For bosons in finite size systems, the effect of quasi-periodic potential on the crossover phenomena corresponding to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), superfluidity and localization phenomena at finite temperatures are investigated. From the ground state number fluctuation we calculate the crossover temperature of BEC which exhibits a non monotonic behavior with the strength of AA potential and vanishes at the self-dual critical point following power law. Appropriate rescaling of the crossover temperatures reveals universal behavior which is studied for different quasi-periodicity of the AA model. Finally, we study the temperature and flux dependence of the persistent current of fermions in presence of a quasi-periodic potential to identify the localization at the Fermi energy from the decay of the current.
