Solitary waves in clouds of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the conditions under which solitary waves can exist in elongated clouds of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms. General expressions are derived for the velocity, characteristic size, and spatial profile of solitary waves, and the low- and high-density limits are examined.
