Anisotropic Superfluidity in a Dipolar Bose Gas

Journal Article Ticknor, Christopher ; Wilson, Ryan M ; Bohn, John L - Physical Review Letters

We study the superfluid character of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (DBEC) in a quasi-two dimensional geometry. We consider the dipole polarization to have some nonzero projection into the plane of the condensate so that the effective interaction is anisotropic in this plane, yielding an anisotropic dispersion relation. By performing direct numerical simulations of a probe moving through the DBEC, we observe the sudden onset of drag or creation of vortex-antivortex pairs at critical velocities that depend strongly on the direction of the probe's motion. This anisotropy emerges because of the anisotropic manifestation of a rotonlike mode in the system.

Anisotropic superfluidity in a dipolar Bose gas

Conference Ticknor, Christopher ; Wilson, Ryan M ; Bohn, John L

A quintessential feature of superfluidity is the ability to support dissipationless flow, for example, when an object moves through a superfluid and experiences no drag. This, however, only occurs when the object is moving below a certain critical velocity; when it exceeds this critical velocity it dissipates energy into excitations of the superfluid, resulting in a net drag force on the object and the breakdown of superfluid flow. In many superfluids, such as dilute Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of atoms with contact interactions, this critical velocity is simply the speed of sound in the system, where the speed of sound ismore »« less

Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of dipolar gas in anisotropic harmonic trap

Journal Article Glaum, K ; Pelster, A ; Fachbereich Physik, Campus Duisburg, Universitaet Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstrasse 1, 47048 Duisburg - Physical Review. A

We consider a dilute gas of dipole moments in an arbitrary harmonic trap and treat both the short-range, isotropic {delta} interaction and the long-range, anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction perturbatively. In this way, we calculate the leading shift of the critical temperature with respect to that of an ideal gas as a function of the relative orientation of the dipole moments with respect to the harmonic trap axes. In particular, we determine those magic angles, where the dipolar shift of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature vanishes. Furthermore, we show for the parameters of the ongoing {sup 52}Cr BEC experiment of Pfau and co-workersmore »« less

Structure, Bose-Einstein condensation, and superfluidity of two-dimensional confined dipolar assemblies

Journal Article Jain, Piyush ; Cinti, Fabio ; Boninsegni, Massimo - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Low-temperature properties of harmonically confined two-dimensional assemblies of dipolar bosons are systematically investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. Calculations carried out for different numbers of particles and strengths of the confining potential yield evidence of a quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a crystal-like phase, consistently with what is observed in the homogeneous system. It is found that the crystal phase nucleates in the center of the trap, as the density increases. Bose-Einstein condensation vanishes at T=0 upon entering the crystalline phase, concurrently with the disappearance of the superfluid response.

Singlet and triplet superfluid competition in a mixture of two-component Fermi and one-component dipolar Bose gases

Journal Article Kain, Ben ; Ling, Hong Y - Physical Review. A

We consider a mixture of two-component Fermi and (one-component) dipolar Bose gases in which both dipolar interaction and s-wave scattering between fermions of opposite spins are tunable. We show that in the long-wavelength limit, the anisotropy in the Fermi-Fermi interaction induced by phonons of the dipolar condensate can strongly enhance the scattering in the triplet channel. We investigate in detail the conditions for achieving optimal critical temperature at which the triplet superfluid begins to compete with the singlet superfluid.
