Thomas–Fermi radius for trapped BEC: R_TF = sqrt(2μ/(m·ω²))

Layer 1 — Physicsin the ultracold-atoms subtree

Thomas–Fermi radius of a trapped BEC. From framework F7, the TF density profile n(r) = (μ − (1/2)m·ω²·r²)/g vanishes at r = R_TF where the trap potential equals the chemical potential. Setting V_trap(R_TF) = μ gives (1/2)·m·ω²·R_TF² = μ ⇒…
