Polaron Properties of an Impurity in Bose-Einstein-Condensation

چکیده
In this paper we study an impurity in Bose-Einstein-Condensate system at T = 0K and suppose the contact forms for boson-boson and boson-impurity interactions. Using Bogoliubov theory and a further approximation corresponding to only think over the forward scattering of impurity by bosons, we derive a reduced Hamiltonian whose form is the same as the Fröhlich Hamiltonian for large polaron. By using Lee-LowPines (LLP) theory for large polaron, we obtain the effective mass of impurity, the phonon number carried by impurity and the energy related to the existence of impurity. In addition, we also discuss the valid range for forward-scattering approximation. PACS number(s): 03.75.Kk, 03.75.Ss, 74.20.Mn

Tunable Polarons of Slow-Light Polaritons in a Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensate.
When an impurity interacts with a bath of phonons it forms a polaron. For increasing interaction strengths the mass of the polaron increases and it can become self-trapped. For impurity atoms inside an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) the nature of this transition is not understood. While Feynman's variational approach to the Fröhlich model predicts a sharp transition for light impurities,...
متن کاملBose-einstein Condensation in the Presence of a Uniform Field and a Point-like Impurity
The behavior of an ideal D-dimensional boson gas in the presence of a uniform gravitational field is analyzed. It is explicitly shown that, contrarily to an old standing folklore, the three-dimensional gas does not undergo Bose-Einstein condensation at finite temperature. On the other hand, BoseEinstein condensation occurs at T 6= 0 for D = 1, 2, 3 if there is a point-like impurity at the botto...
متن کاملImpurity Expulsion From a Bose-Einstein Condensate
When a sizable, hard-sphere-like impurity is placed in a trapped BoseEinstein condensate, it will create a hole in the condensate wave function. Since it costs more energy to drill a hole at the wave function’s maximum (near the trap center) than at its minimum (near the trap edge), the impurity will be expelled from the condensate. This suggests that C60 molecules freely falling through a cond...
متن کاملImpurity in a Bose-Einstein Condensate and the Efimov Effect.
We investigate the zero-temperature properties of an impurity particle interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), using a variational wave function that includes up to two Bogoliubov excitations of the BEC. This allows one to capture three-body Efimov physics, as well as to recover the first nontrivial terms in the weak-coupling expansion. We show that the energy and quasiparticle resid...
متن کاملImpurity Dynamics in a Bose Condensate
Bose-Einstein condensation is the macroscopic occupation of a single quantum state. In bulk liquid Helium, most theoretical calculations[1] agree that, in the limit of zero temperature, roughly 10% of the Helium atoms are condensed in the ground state. For recently observed atomic condensates in Rb [2], Li [3] and Na [4], nearly 100% condensation is expected because of their low density. This c...
