Oblique spatial dark solitons in supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii mean field approach it is shown that supersonic flow of BoseEinstein condensate can support a new type of pattern—an oblique spatial dark soliton. Exact spatial dark soliton solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation is obtained. It is demonstrated by numerical simulations that spatial solitons can be generated by an obstacle inserted into the flow. Connection of the developed theory with available experimental data is discussed.

متن کاملGeneration of oblique dark solitons in supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle
Nonlinear and dispersive properties of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) provide a possibility of formation of various nonlinear structures such as vortices and bright and dark solitons (see, e.g., [1]). Yet another type of nonlinear wave patterns has been observed in a series of experiments on the BEC flow past macroscopic obstacles [2]. In [3] these structures have been associated with spatial d...
متن کاملStabilization of solitons generated by a supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle.
The stability of dark solitons generated by supersonic flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle is investigated. It is shown that in the reference frame attached to the obstacle a transition occurs at some critical value of the flow velocity from absolute instability of dark solitons to their convective instability. This leads to the decay of disturbances of solitons at a fixed dista...
متن کاملSpatial dispersive shock waves generated in supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate past slender body
Supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate past macroscopic obstacles is studied theoretically. It is shown that in the case of large obstacles the Cherenkov cone transforms into a stationary spatial shock wave which consists of a number of spatial dark solitons. Analytical theory is developed for the case of obstacles having a form of a slender body. This theory explains qualitatively the pro...
متن کاملSolitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
