Long range interaction induced density modulated state in a Bose-Einstein condensate

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a Gross-Pitaevskii model of BEC with non-local s-wave scattering to study the density modulated state in 1D. We resort to a perturbative Taylor series expansion for the order parameter. By perturbative calculations, we show that under long range s-wave scattering a density modulated state is energetically favourable as compared to the uniform density state. We obtain density modulated state as a solution to the perturbative non-local GP equation, rather than the conventional approach of introducing amplitude modulations on top of the uniform density state and lowering the roton minimum.
