Lieb Mode in a Quasi One-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensate of Atoms
arXiv:cond-mat/0202178 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.070403
Abstract
We calculate the dispersion relation associated with a solitary wave in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms confined in a harmonic, cylindrical trap in the limit of weak and strong interactions. In both cases, the dispersion relation is linear for long wavelength excitations and terminates at the point where the group velocity vanishes. We also calculate the dispersion relation of sound waves in both limits of weak and strong coupling.
