Thermal Capacity of Photon Condensate Measured, Aligns with Theory

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Better understanding the thermal capacity of Bose-Einstein photon condensates could enable the development of ultraprecise thermometers. The drop in the heat-storage capacity of liquid water as it changes phase to gas or solid is well-understood, but now physicists at the University of Bonn have observed similar behavior in a trapped 2D photon gas. Researchers at the Institute of Applied Physics of the University of Bonn have measured the temperature of a gas of light, when it condenses. The thermometer is figurative; the temperature was determined by recording the wavelengths of...Read full article
