摘要
We consider the properties of a gas of bosonic diatomic molecules in the limit when few of the molecules are dissociated. Taking into account the effects of dissociation and scattering among molecules and atoms, we calculate the dispersion relation for a molecule, and the thermal depletion of the condensate. We calculate the dependence of the Bose-Einstein-condensation (BEC) temperature of a uniform gas on the atom-atom scattering length, and conclude that, for a broad Feshbach resonance, the condensation temperature increases as the molecular state becomes less strongly bound, thereby giving rise to a maximum in the transition temperature in the BEC-BCS crossover. We also argue on general grounds that, for a gas in a harmonic trap and for a narrow Feshbach resonance, the condensation temperature will decrease with increasing scattering length.
