Parametric resonance of capillary waves at the interface between two immiscible Bose-Einstein condensates

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study parametric resonance of capillary waves on the interface between two immiscible Bose-Einstein condensates pushed towards each other by an oscillating force. Guided by analytical models, we solve numerically the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations for two-component Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature. We show that, at moderate amplitudes of the driving force, the instability is stabilized due to non-linear modifications of the oscillation frequency. When the amplitude of the driving force is large enough, we observe detachment of droplets from the Bose-Einstein condensates, resulting in generation of quantum vortices (skyrmions). We analytically investigate the vortex dynamics, and conditions of quantized vortex generation.
