Abstract

Assuming the validity of grand canonical statistics, we study the properties of a spin-polarized Fermi gas in harmonic traps. Universal forms of Fermi temperature TF, internal energy U and the specific heat per particle of the trapped Fermi gas are calculated as a function of particle number, and the results compared with those of infinite number particles.
