Abstract
The aim of this work is to study a dilute Fermi gas, whether it has a spin 1/2 or it has a high degeneracy. The starting point is to calculate the energy of the system. However, as we are dealing with a many body system, a perturbation series method will be applied. R. F. Bishop in reference [1] wrote the terms of the expansion up to fourth order in the gas parameter, which is defined as the Fermi momentum times the S-wave scattering length, but only for the case of a non-polarized gas. What we do in this present work is the generalization of that expansion up to third order including any possible polarization. The universal expansion, that is up to second order, have been computed analytically. For the third order terms was not possible, but thanks to numerical calculation we have obtained the energy for different polarizations. Therefore, this work will contain a combination of both analytical and numerical calculus. The final expression obtained for the energy depends on the polarization, the gas parameter and the degeneracy and stands for low density gases. Afterwards, thanks to knowing the relation between the energy and the polarization, the study of the ferromagnetic phase transition is presented. We see how the transition point changes due to the degeneracy and what kind of phase transition we obtain. For spin 1/2 a continuous transition is observed, while a discontinuous transition happens for higher degeneracy. To complement the phase transition study, different physical properties have been computed, such as, the magnetic susceptibility, and the Tan?s constant. Our study is extended to highly degenerate Fermi gases which are now realized in cold Fermi labs.
