Excitation Spectra of λ ( ϕϕ † ) 2 Relativistic Bose condensate
Yang Zhang
Abstract
Using the Bogolubov transformation method, we calculate excitation energy spectra for a charged relativistic Bose–Einstein condensate with λ ( ϕϕ † ) 2 interactions. There are two distinct spectra. In the long-wavelength limit one of the spectra approaches to the phonon spectrum for an uncharged nonrelativistic boson condensate, and the other to the nonrelativistic particle energy spectrum. The ground state is explicitly constructed as a coherent state which contains zero-momentum bosons and pairs of quanta with nonzero opposite momenta.
