Elliptic Function Waves of Spinor Bose–Einstein Condensates in an Optical Lattice
Xie Yuan-Dong
Abstract
An improved nonlinear Schrodinger equation different from usual one of spinor Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in an optical lattice are obtained by taking into account a nonlinear term in the equation of motion for probability amplitude of spins carefully. The elliptic function wave solutions of the model are found under specific boundary condition, for example, the two ends of the atomic chain are fixed. In the case of limit the elliptic function wave solutions are reduced into spin-wave-like or solitons.
