Vortex waves in a cloud of Bose-Einstein-condensed, trapped alkali-metal atoms.
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the vortex state solution for a rotating cloud of trapped, Bose Einstein condensed alkali atoms and study finite temperature effects. We find that thermally excited vortex waves can distort the vortex state significantly, even at the very low temperatures relevant to the experiments. PACS numbers 0.35 Fi, 5.30 Jp, 32.80 Pj

Collapse and Bose - Einstein condensation in a trapped Bose gas with negative scattering length
We find that the key features of the evolution and collapse of a trapped Bose condensate with negative scattering length are predetermined by the particle flux from the non-equilibrium above-condensate cloud to the condensate and by 3-body recombination of Bose-condensed atoms. The collapse, starting once the number of Bose-condensed atoms N 0 reaches the critical value, ceases and turns to exp...
متن کاملLocal Spin-Gauge Symmetry of the Bose-Einstein Condensates in Atomic Gases.
The Bose-Einstein condensates of alkali atomic gases are spinor fields with local “spin-gauge” symmetry. This symmetry is manifested by a superfluid velocity us (or gauge field) generated by the Berry phase of the spin field. In “static” traps, us splits the degeneracy of the harmonic energy levels, breaks the inversion symmetry of the vortex nucleation frequency Ωc1, and can lead to vortex gro...
متن کاملFormation of multi-solitons and vortex bright solitons in Bose-condensed alkali-metal atoms
The formation of multi-soliton configurations in Bose-condensed alkali-metal atoms is analyzed by using the nonpolynomial Schordinger equation. A train of bright solitons is obtained from an axially homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate by a sudden change of the scattering length from repulsive to attractive. We derive an analytical expression for the number of bright solitons generated by using...
متن کاملAnalytical Estimate of the Critical Velocity for Vortex Pair Creation in Trapped Bose Condensates
We use a modified Thomas-Fermi approximation to analytically estimate the critical velocity for the formation of vortices in harmonically trapped BEC. We compare this analytical estimate to numerical calculations and to recent experiments on trapped alkali condensates. I. Introduction : The experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in cold trapped alkali atoms has stimulated ...
