We present precision neutron scattering measurements of the Bose-Einstein condensate fraction, n0(T), and the atomic momentum distribution, nstar(k), of liquid 4He at pressure p =24 bar. Both the temperature dependence of n0(T) and of the width of nstar(k) are determined. The n0(T) can be represented by n0(T) = n0(0)[1-(T/T{lambda}){gamma}] with a small n0(0) = 2.80pm0.20% and large {gamma} = 13pm2 for T < T{lambda} indicating strong interaction. The onset of BEC is accompanied by a significant narrowing of the nstar(k). The narrowing accounts for 65% of the drop in kinetic energy below T{lambda} and reveals an important coupling between BEC and k > 0 states. The experimental results are well reproduced by Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations.

Systems of Bose particles with both repulsive and attractive interactions are studied using the Skyrme-like mean-field model. The phase diagram of such systems exhibits two special lines in the chemical potential-temperature plane: one line which rep resents the first-order liquid-gas phase transition with the critical end point, and another line which represents the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation. The calculations are made for strongly-interacting matter composed of alpha particles. The phase diagram of this matter is qualitatively similar to that observed for the atomic He4 liquid. The sensitivity of the results to the model parameters is studied. For weak interaction coupling the critical point is located at the Bose-condensation line.
A formula for potential U of the He-4--He-4 interaction in the liquid state is obtained by the direct electromagnetic computation as a function of the interatomic distance R. The potential decreases exponentially at large R. The further development and application of the result are discussed.
We study the melting of skyrmions in a two-dimensional Heisenberg chiral magnet with bi-axial Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interactions. These topological excitations may form at zero temperature a triangular crystal with long-range positional order. Howev er, we show using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations that at small finite temperature, the skyrmions rather form a typical two-dimensional solid: Positional correlations decay with distance as power laws while the orientational correlations remain finite. At higher temperature, we observe a direct transition from this two-dimensional solid to a liquid with short-range correlations. This differs from generic two-dimensional homogeneous particle systems, where a hexatic phase is realized between the solid and the liquid.
We introduce an irreversible discrete multiplicative process that undergoes Bose-Einstein condensation as a generic model of competition. New players with different abilities successively join the game and compete for limited resources. A players fut ure gain is proportional to its ability and its current gain. The theory provides three principles for this type of competition: competitive exclusion, punctuated equilibria, and a critical condition for the distribution of the players abilities necessary for the dominance and the evolution. We apply this theory to genetics, ecology and economy.
The curvature dependence of interfacial free energy, which is crucial in quantitatively predicting nucleation kinetics and the stability of bubbles and droplets, can be described in terms of the Tolman length {delta}. For solid-liquid interfaces, how ever,{delta} has never been computed directly due to various theoretical and practical challenges. Here we present a general method that enables the direct evaluation of the Tolman length from atomistic simulations of a solid-liquid planar interface in out-of-equilibrium conditions. This method works by first measuring the surface tension from the amplitude of thermal capillary fluctuations of a localized version of Gibbs dividing surface, and bythen computing the free energy difference between the surface of tension and the equimolar dividing surface. For benchmark purposes, we computed {delta}for a model potential, and compared the results to less rigorous indirect approaches.
