Skyrmion crystals in pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose–Einstein condensates

Exact two-dimensional solutions are constructed for the pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose–Einstein condensates,which are described by the coupled nonlinear Gross–Pitaevskii equations where the intra-and inter-species coupling constants are assumed to be equal.The equations are decoupled by means of re-combinations of the nonlinear terms of the hyperfine states according to the spatial dimensions.The stationary solutions form various spin textures which are identified as skyrmion crystals.In a special case,a crystal of skyrmion–anti-skyrmion pairs is formed in the soliton limit.     

Nonautonomous dark soliton solutions in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates with a linear time-dependent potential

We report the analytical nonantonomous soliton solutions （NSSs） for two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with the presence of a time-dependent potential. These solutions show that the time-dependent potential can affect the velocity of NSS. The velocity shows the characteristic of both increasing and oscillation with time. A detailed analysis for the asymptotic behavior of NSSs demonstrates that the collision of two NSSs of each component is elastic.     

Adiabatic tunneling of Bose–Einstein condensates with modulated atom interaction in a double-well potential

We study the adiabatic tunneling of Bose–Einstein condensates in a symmetric double-well potential when the interaction strength between the atoms is modulated linearly or in a cosine periodic form. It is shown that the system evolves along a nonlinear eigenstate path. In the case of linear modulation under the adiabatic approximation conditions, the tunneling probability of the condensate atoms to the other potential well is half. However, when the system is periodically scanned in the adiabatic process, we find an interesting phenomenon. A small change in the cycle period can lead to the condensate atoms returning to the right well or tunneling to the left well. The system comes from a linear eigenstate back to a nonlinear one, which is completely different from the linear eigenstate evolution. We explain the results by using the energy level and the phase diagram.     

Nonautonomous solitary-wave solutions of the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients

A class of analytical solitary-wave solutions to the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time- and space-modulated coefficients and potentials are constructed using the similarity transformation technique. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the cubic and quintic nonlinearities, the external potential, and the gain (loss) coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of analytical solitary-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail, such as the solutions in Feshbach resonance management with harmonic potentials, Faraday-type waves in the optical lattice potentials, and localized solutions supported by the Gaussian-shaped nonlinearity. The stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.     

Atomic population oscillations between two coupled Bose——Einstein condensates with time-dependent nonlinear interaction

The atomic population oscillations between two Bose--Einstein condensates with time-dependent nonlinear interaction in a double-well potential are studied. We first analyse the stabilities of the system's steady-state solutions. And then in the perturbative regime, the Melnikov chaotic oscillation of atomic population imbalance is investigated and the Melnikov chaotic criterion is obtained. When the system is out of the perturbative regime, numerical calculations reveal that regulating the nonlinear parameter can lead the system to step into chaos via period doubling bifurcations. It is also numerically found that adjusting the nonlinear parameter and asymmetric trap potential can result in the running-phase macroscopic quantum self-trapping (MQST). In the presence of a weak asymmetric trap potential, there exists the parametric resonance in the system.     

Lie group analysis,numerical and non-traveling wave solutions for the(2+1)-dimensional diffusion–advection equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, the variable-coefficient diffusion–advection(DA) equation, which arises in modeling various physical phenomena, is studied by the Lie symmetry approach. The similarity reductions are derived by determining the complete sets of point symmetries of this equation, and then exact and numerical solutions are reported for the reduced second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Further, an extended(G /G)-expansion method is applied to the DA equation to construct some new non-traveling wave solutions.     

Stability and phase transition of localized modes in Bose–Einstein condensates with both two- and three-body interactions

We investigate the stability and phase transition of localized modes in Bose–Einstein Condensates (BECs) in an optical lattice with the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model by considering both two- and three-body interactions. We find that there are three types of localized modes, bright discrete breather (DB), discrete kink (DK), and multi-breather (MUB). Moreover, both two- and three-body on-site repulsive interactions can stabilize DB, while on-site attractive three-body interactions destabilize it. There is a critical value for the three-body interaction with which both DK and MUB become the most stable ones. We give analytically the energy thresholds for the destabilization of localized states and find that they are unstable (stable) when the total energy of the system is higher (lower) than the thresholds. The stability and dynamics characters of DB and MUB are general for extended lattice systems. Our result is useful for the blocking, filtering, and transfer of the norm in nonlinear lattices for BECs with both two- and three-body interactions.     

Numerical simulation of the soliton solutions for a complex modified Korteweg—de Vries equation by a finite difference method

In this paper,a Crank-Nicolson-type finite difference method is proposed for computing the soliton solutions of a complex modifed Korteweg de Vries(MKdV)equation(which is equivalent to the Sasa-Satsuma equation)with the vanishing boundary condition.It is proved that such a numerical scheme has the second order accuracy both in space and time,and conserves the mass in the discrete level.Meanwhile,the resuling scheme is shown to be unconditionally stable via the von Nuemann analysis.In addition,an iterative method and the Thomas algorithm are used together to enhance the computational efficiency.In numerical experiments,this method is used to simulate the single-soliton propagation and two-soliton collisions in the complex MKdV equation.The numerical accuracy,mass conservation and linear stability are tested to assess the scheme's performance.     

Fractional variant of Stokes–Einstein relation in aqueous ionic solutions under external static electric fields

Both ionic solutions under an external applied static electric field E and glassy-forming liquids under undercooled state are in non-equilibrium state.In this work,molecular dynamics(MD)simulations with three aqueous alkali ion chloride(NaCl,KCl,and RbCl)ionic solutions are performed to exploit whether the glass-forming liquid analogous fractional variant of the Stokes–Einstein relation also exists in ionic solutions under E.Our results indicate that the diffusion constant decouples from the structural relaxation time under E,and a fractional variant of the Stokes–Einstein relation is observed as well as a crossover analogous to the glass-forming liquids under cooling.The fractional variant of the Stokes–Einstein relation is attributed to the E introduced deviations from Gaussian and the nonlinear effect.     

Painlevé Analysis,Soliton Collision and B?cklund Transformation for the (3+1)-Dimensional Variable-Coefficient Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation in Fluids or Plasmas

In this paper, we investigate a(3+1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficient Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, which can describe the nonlinear phenomena in fluids or plasmas. Painlev′e analysis is performed for us to study the integrability, and we find that the equation is not completely integrable. By virtue of the binary Bell polynomials,bilinear form and soliton solutions are obtained, and B¨acklund transformation in the binary-Bell-polynomial form and bilinear form are derived. Soliton collisions are graphically discussed: the solitons keep their original shapes unchanged after the collision except for the phase shifts. Variable coefficients are seen to affect the motion of solitons: when the variable coefficients are chosen as the constants, solitons keep their directions unchanged during the collision; with the variable coefficients as the functions of the temporal coordinate, the one soliton changes its direction.     

Dynamics of solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate with time-dependent atomic scattering length

The evolution of solitons in Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) with time-dependent atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential is studied. Based on the extended hyperbolic function method, we successfully obtain the bright and dark soliton solutions. In addition, some new soliton solutions in this model are found. The results in this paper include some in the literature ({\em Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 94} (2005) 050402 and {\em Chin. Phys. Lett.} {\bf 22} (2005) 1855).     

Stabilised bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential

The exact solitonic solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schr?dinger equation, which describes the dynamics of bright soliton in Bose—Einstein condensates with the time-dependent interaction in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential, are obtained by Darboux transformation. The results show that one can compress a bright soliton into an assumed peak of matter wave density by adusting the experimental parameter of the ratio of axial oscillation to radial oscillation or feeding parameter. Especially,when parameters satisfy the relation λ=2γ, the soliton is stable with time evolution without changing its shape and amplitude.     

Nonautonomous bright and dark solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates with Feshbach-managed time-dependent scattering length

We present a family of nonautonomous bright and dark soliton solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates with the time-dependent scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. These solutions show that the amplitude, width, and velocity of soliton can be manipulated by adjusting the atomic scattering length via Feshbach resonance. For the cases of both attractive and repulsive interactions, the total particle number is a conservation quantity, but the peak (dip) density can be controlled by the Feshbach resonance parameter. Especially, we investigate the modulation instability process in uniform Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interaction and nonvanishing background, and clarify that the procedure of pattern formation is in fact the superposition of the perturbed dark and bright solitary waves. At last, we give the analytical expressions of nonautonomous dark one- and two-soliton solutions for repulsive interaction, and investigate their properties analytically.

Bright and dark solitons in a quasi-1D Bose-Einstein condensates modelled by 1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent parameters

We investigate the exact bright and dark solitary wave solutions of an effective 1D Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by assuming that the interaction energy is much less than the kinetic energy in the transverse direction. In particular, following the earlier works in the literature Pérez-García et al. (2004) [50], Serkin et al. (2007) [51], Gurses (2007) [52] and Kundu (2009) [53], we point out that the effective 1D equation resulting from the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation can be transformed into the standard soliton (bright/dark) possessing, completely integrable 1D nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation by effecting a change of variables of the coordinates and the wave function. We consider both confining and expulsive harmonic trap potentials separately and treat the atomic scattering length, gain/loss term and trap frequency as the experimental control parameters by modulating them as a function of time. In the case when the trap frequency is kept constant, we show the existence of different kinds of soliton solutions, such as the periodic oscillating solitons, collapse and revival of condensate, snake-like solitons, stable solitons, soliton growth and decay and formation of two-soliton bound state, as the atomic scattering length and gain/loss term are varied. However, when the trap frequency is also modulated, we show the phenomena of collapse and revival of two-soliton like bound state formation of the condensate for double modulated periodic potential and bright and dark solitons for step-wise modulated potentials.
