Abstract
The condensation and accumulation phenomena of charged Bose-Einstein particles in a magnetic field are examined, neglecting electrostatic interactions. For weak fields a single condensation occurs at the same temperature as that for uncharged particles; for strong fields there is a separate lower accumulation temperature, indicating the accumulation of particles in the lowest translational state. The total energy, free energy, and polarization are calculated, and applied to the properties of a gas of electron pairs, and a solution of deuterons in a metal, these being systems whose low temperature behavior might show a Bose-Einstein condensation. It is shown that the Bose-Einstein condensation of free electron pairs cannot provide a theory of superconductivity.
