The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Topological excitations in quantum fluids are coupled to the background sound field. This leads to a continuous exchange of energy between the two systems, as a result of which, the topological excitation can become deformed and its trajectory modified. These effects are considered in detail for dark solitons in trapped one-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The energy emitted by the dark soliton incident on a background potential gradient is shown to be proportional to the square of both the soliton deformation and the local soliton acceleration. Depending on the trap geometry, this energy can be partly or fully reabsorbed by the soliton, thus affecting its stability. The extension to vortices in trapped atomic condensates is discussed.
