Lattice induced stripe phase in Bose-Einstein condensate under non-inertial and inertial motion (1706.07419v1)

Abstract: We consider a parametrically forced Bose-Einstein condensate in the combined presence of an optical lattice and harmonic oscillator potential in the mean field approach. A spatial symmetry broken Bose-condensed phase in non-inertial and inertial frame yields a stripe phase in the presence of both cubic and quintic nonlinearities. We show that existence of such stripe phase solely depends on the interplay between the quintic nonlinearity and lattice potential. Furthermore, we observe that a time-dependent harmonic oscillator frequency destroys such stripe ordering. A linear stability analysis of the obtained solution is performed and we found that the solution is stable. In order to gain a better understanding of the underlying physics, we compute the energy, showing nonlinear compression of the condensate in some parameter domain.
