  • At this temperature, bosonic atoms undergo a quantum mechanical phase transition and form a Bose-Einstein condensate, a coherent cloud of atoms all occupying the same quantum mechanical state.
  • bosonic atoms
  • bosonic stimulation

You can observe bosonic enhancement and fermionic suppression only when you have spontaneous events.

Examples

  • Recently, several groups have created bosonic molecules from fermionic atoms, and they have found that the molecules live long enough to allow the formation of a molecular BEC.

    Academic text (2003)

  • The the Higgs field is a bosonic field and bosonic fields, it's called Phi.

  • And so, so that looks like both bosonic theory rather than a fermionic theory.

  • Are we saying that if we have two bosonic atoms that that's what their state will be?

  • Until recently, most efforts began with bosonic atoms, some within BECs.

    Academic text (2003)

  • The door is open to further explore the interface between the bosonic and fermionic worlds.

    Academic text (2003)

  • For bosonic atoms below a certain temperature, the state of highest entropy includes a macroscopic population of the ground state.

    Academic text (1999)

  • The Bose-Einstein distribution arises from the detailed balance of collisions between pairs of particles—be they photons or bosonic atoms in a dilute gas.

    Academic text (1999)

  • The current crop of gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates is confined, dilute, weakly interacting systems of cold bosonic (integer spin) atoms.

    Academic text (1999)

  • In experiments, we observed how bosonic particles behaved at very low temperatures.

9.9

An early form of string theory that describes only bosons, a type of particle, and needs 26 dimensions

Surface Forms

bosonic positive

Morphology

bosonic = boson (transparent) = boson + ic

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ic' to 'boson', so it directly means 'relating to bosons'.

Etymology

The word bosonic comes from the name Bose, an Indian physicist, and the particle ending -on, which you can see in electron. Bosons are 'particles' that can share the same state, so bosonic means 'related to bosons' or 'behaving like those particles'.
