STABILITY OF BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES CONFINED IN TRAPS

Takeya Tsurumi, Hirofumi Morise, Miki Wadati

Bose–Einstein condensation has been realized as dilute atomic vapors. This achievement has generated immense interest in this field. This article review of recent theoretical research into the properties of trapped dilute-gas Bose–Einstein condensates. Among these properties, stability of Bose–Einstein condensates confined in traps is mainly discussed. Static properties of the ground state are investigated by using the variational method. The analysis is extended to the stability of two-component condensates. Time-development of the condensate is well-described by the Gross–Pitaevskii equation which is known in nonlinear physics as the no nlinear Schrödinger equation. For the case that the inter-atomic potential is effectively attractive, a singularity of the solution emerges in a finite time. This phenomenon which we call collapse explains the upper bound for the number of atoms in such condensates under traps.

BEC in Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics: Some Additional Results

Luca Salasnich

In a recent paper [Int. J. Mod. Phys. B 14, 405 (2000)] we discussed the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the framework of Tsallis’s nonextensive statistical mechanics. In particular, we studied an ideal gas of bosons in a confining harmonic potential. In this memoir we generalize our previous analysis by investigating an ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law external potential. We derive analytical formulas for the energy of the system, the BEC transition temperature and the condensed fraction. PACS numbers: 05.30-d; 03.75.Fi 1 Recently we analyzed the consequences of weak nonextensivity on Bose-Einstein Condensation for an ideal Bose gas 1 by using Tsallis’s nonextensive statistical mechanics (NSM). 2 From the nonextensive Bose-Einstein distribution 3−5 we derived the BEC transition temperature, the condensed fraction and the energy per particle in three different cases: the homogeneous gas, the gas in a harmonic trap and the relativistic homogenous gas. In this short contribution we generalize our previous results by considering the ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law potential. All the calculations are performed by assuming a D-dimensional space. The NSM predicts that, for an ideal quantum gas of identical bosons in the grand canonical ensemble, the weak nonextensivity formula of the average number of particles with energy ǫ is given by 〈n(ǫ)〉q = 1

Effects of parameters on the stationary state and self-trapping of three coupled Bose-Einstein condensate solitons

Yongshan Cheng, Hong Li, Rongzhou Gong

The stability of three coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) solitons is investigated by the variational approach in two conventional time-independent trapping potentials. The effects of parameters of the potentials and the initial conditions of the BEC soliton system on the stationary state and self-trapping are discussed. It is found that the trapping potentials play an important role in the stability of the system and change the characteristics of the system, and there are different critical potential amplitude values corresponding to different trapping potentials and initial conditions of the BEC soliton system.
