Phys. Rev. A 68, 053605 (2003) [5 pages]Finite-temperature effects on the collapse of trapped Bose-Fermi mixturesReceived 24 July 2003; published 4 November 2003 By using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov theory, we present a detailed study of the mean-field stability of spherically trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures at finite temperature. We find that, by increasing the temperature, the critical particle number of bosons (or fermions) and the critical attractive Bose-Fermi scattering length increase, leading to a significant stabilization of the mixture. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
