Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 190404 (2004) [4 pages]Density Profile of a Harmonically Trapped Ideal Fermi Gas in Arbitrary DimensionReceived 24 May 2004; published 4 November 2004 Closed-form analytic expressions are derived for the density profile of a harmonically trapped noninteracting Fermi gas in d dimensions. Shell structure effects are included to leading order in 1/N, where N is the number of particles. These corrections to the local density approximation scale as δn/n∼N-α, where α=(1+1/d)/2. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
