Title Density correlations and analog dynamical Casimir emission of Bogoliubov phonons in modulated atomic Bose-Einstein condensates Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication European Physical Journal D Abbreviated Journal Eur. Phys. J. D
Volume 56 Issue 3 Pages 391-404
Keywords
Abstract We present a theory of the density correlations that appear in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate as a consequence of the emission of correlated pairs of Bogoliubov phonons by a time-dependent atom-atom scattering length. This effect can be considered as a condensed matter analog of the dynamical Casimir effect of quantum field theory. Different regimes as a function of the temporal shape of the modulation are identified and a simple physical picture of the phenomenon is discussed. Analytical expressions for the density correlation function are provided for the most significant limiting cases. This theory is able to explain some unexpected features recently observed in numerical studies of analog Hawking radiation from acoustic black holes.

Title The structure of para-hydrogen clusters Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication European Physical Journal D Abbreviated Journal Eur. Phys. J. D
Volume 56 Issue 3 Pages 353-358
Keywords
Abstract The path integral Monte Carlo calculated radial distributions of para-hydrogen clusters (p-H-2) N consisting of N = 4-40 molecules interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential at T = 1.5 K show evidence for additional peaks compared to radial distributions calculated by diffusion Monte Carlo (T = 0 K) and path integral Monte Carlo at T <= 0.5 K. The difference in structures is attributed to quantum delocalization at the lowest temperature. The new structures at finite temperatures appear to be consistent with classical structures calculated for an effective Morse potential, which in order to account for the large zero point energy, is substantially softer than the Lennard-Jones potential.
