The Dynamics of Component Separation in a Binary Mixture of Bose-Einstein Condensates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present studies of the time-evolution of a twocomponent system of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in the |F = 1, mf = −1〉 and |2, 1〉 spin states of Rb. The two condensates are created with a well-defined relative phase and complete spatial overlap. In subsequent evolution they undergo complex relative motions that tend to preserve the total density profile. The motions quickly damp out, leaving the condensates in a steady state with a nonnegligible (and adjustable) overlap region.

Phase Separation of Multi-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates in an Optical Lattice
In this paper, we analyze phase separation of multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) in the presence of a strong optical lattice. This paper is in threefold. We first prove that when the inter-component scattering lengths go to infinity, phase separation of a multi-component BEC occurs. Furthermore, particles repel each other and form segregated nodal domains. Secondly, we show that t...
متن کاملStratification of Moving Multicomponent Bose-Einstein Condensates
A mixture of the multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensate is considered, where each component moves with its own velocity. As a result of the relative motion, the mixture stratifies when the relative velocity reaches a critical value. Stability conditions for a binary moving mixture are derived and the critical velocity is found.

متن کاملVortex excitations in binary mixture of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
Elementary excitations of vortices placed in one component of a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates have been studied using perturbative and numerical solutions of the linearised equations for excitations, and numerical simulation of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Two distinct instabilities originating from resonances of the excitations have been found. One leads to the vortex ...
