چکیده

Characteristics of the initial condensate in the recent experiment on Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of 87Rb atoms in an anisotropic magnetic trap are discussed. Given the aspect ratio R, the quality of BEC is estimated. A simple analytical ansatz for the initial condensate wave function is proposed as a function of the aspect ratio which, in contrast to the Baym-Pethick trial wave function, can be used for any interaction strength, reproduces both the weak and the strong interaction limits, and which is in better agreement with numerical results than the latter.

Bosons in anisotropic traps: Ground state and vortices.

We solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equations for a dilute atomic gas in a magnetic trap, modeled by an anisotropic harmonic potential. We evaluate the wave function and the energy of the Bose Einstein condensate as a function of the particle number, both for positive and negative scattering length. The results for the transverse and vertical size of the cloud of atoms, as well as for the kinetic and...

Ground state and vortex states of bosons in an anisotropic trap: A variational approach

We propose a simple variational form of the wave function to describe the ground state and vortex states of a system of weakly interacting Bose gas in an anisotropic trap. The proposed wave function is valid for a wide range of the particle numbers in the trap. It also works well in the case of attractive interaction between the atoms. Further, it provides an easy and fast method to calculate t...

In a recent article in this journal I pointed out that the harmonic oscillator potential used to model most experiments on Bose–Einstein condensation of atomic gases simplifies the numerical analysis. In this note I extend my previous analysis to allow for anisotropic confining potentials. This extension yields a better comparison with real experiments ~which are performed in anisotropic confin...

The Bose molecule in one dimension

We give the Green function, momentum distribution, two-particle correlation function, and structure factor for the bound state of N indistinguishable bosons with an attractive delta-function interaction in one dimension, and an argument showing that this boson ”molecule” has no excited states other than dissociation into separated pieces. Typeset using REVTEX 1 I. THE BOSON MOLECULE Consider a ...

Buckling Analysis of Orthotropic and Anisotropic Rectangular Plates by GDQ Method

In this paper, buckling of orthotropic rectangular plates under different loadings was investigated. For this reason, governing buckling equations for an isotropic plate were modified by applying constitutive equations of orthotropic materials. After obtaining the equations of orthotropic plates, Generalized Differential Quadrature method (GDQM) was applied on buckling equations and thus a set ...
