Miscibility in coupled dipolar and non-dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
Abstract
We perform a full three-dimensional study on miscible-immiscible conditions for coupled dipolar and non-dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), confined within anisotropic traps. Without loosing general miscibility aspects that can occur for two-component mixtures, our main focus was on the atomic erbium-dysprosium (Er-Dy) and dysprosium-dysprosium (Dy-Dy) mixtures. Our analysis for pure-dipolar BEC was limited to coupled systems confined in pancake-type traps, after considering a study on the stability regime of such systems. In case of non-dipolar systems with repulsive contact intneeractions we are able to extend the miscibility analysis to coupled systems with cigar-type symmetries. For a coupled condensate with repulsive inter- and intra-species two-body interactions, confined by an external harmonic trap, the transition from a miscible to an immiscible phase is verified to be much softer than in the case the system is confined by a symmetric hard-wall potential. Our results, presented by density plots, are pointing out the main role of the trap symmetry and inter-species interaction for the miscibility. A relevant parameter to measure the overlap between the two densities was defined and found appropriate to quantify the miscibility of a coupled system.
