The properties of Tonk-Girardeau Gas at Finite Temperature and Comparison with Polarized Free Fermions

Abstract: In the present paper we investigate the Tonks-Girardeau gas confined in a harmonic trap at finite temperature with thermal Bose-Fermi mapping method. The pair distribution, density distribution, reduced one-body density matrix, the occupations number of natural orbitals, and momentum distribution are evaluated. In the whole temperature regime the pair distribution and density distribution exhibit the same properties as those of polarized free Fermions because both of them depend on the modulus of wavefunction rather than wavefunction. While the reduced one-body density matrix, the natural orbital occupation, momentum distribution, which depend on wavefunction, of Tonks gas displays Bose properties different from polarized free Fermions at low temperature. At high temperature we can not distinguish Tonks gas from the polarized free Fermi gas by all properties qualitatively.
