Temperature Dependence of Damping and Frequency Shifts of the Scissors Mode of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate

Onofrio M. Maragò, Gerald Hechenblaikner, E. Hodby +1 more

We have studied the properties of the scissors mode of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb atoms at finite temperature. We measured a significant shift in the frequency of the mode below the hydrodynamic limit and a strong dependence of the damping rate as the temperature increased. We compared our damping rate results to recent theoretical calculations for other observed collective modes, finding a fair agreement. From the frequency measurements we deduce the moment of inertia of the gas and show that it is quenched below the transition point, because of the superfluid nature of the condensed gas.

Second sound dipole mode in a partially Bose-Einstein condensed gas

R. Meppelink, Koller, S. B., J. M. M. J. Vogels +2 more

We study the second sound dipole mode in a partially Bose-Einstein condensed gas. This mode is excited by spatially separating and releasing the center-of-mass of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with respect to the thermal cloud, after which the equilibration is observed. The oscillation frequency and the damping rate of this mode is studied for different harmonic confinements and temperatures. The measured damping rates close to the collisionless regime are found to be in good agreement with Landau damping. For increasing hydrodynamicity of the cloud we observe an increase of the damping.

Damping of hydrodynamic modes in a trapped Bose gas above the Bose-Einstein transition temperature

G. M. Kavoulakis, C. J. Pethick, H. Smith

We calculate the damping of low-lying collective modes of a trapped Bose gas in the hydrodynamic regime, and show that this comes solely from the shear viscosity, since the contributions from bulk viscosity and thermal conduction vanish. The hydrodynamic expression for the damping diverges due to the failure of hydrodynamics in the outer parts of the cloud, and we take this into account by a physically motivated cutoff procedure. Our analysis of available experimental data indicates that higher densities than have yet been achieved are necessary for investigating hydrodynamic modes above the Bose-Einstein transition temperature.
