Rotational properties of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined in anisotropic harmonic potentials
arXiv:1102.0640 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.83.033628
Abstract
We study the rotational properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a quasi-two- dimensional anisotropic trap, for an arbitrary orientation of the dipoles with respect to their plane of motion. Within the mean-field approximation we find that the lowest-energy state of the system depends strongly on the relative strength between the dipolar and the contact interactions, as well as on the size and the orientation of the dipoles, and the size and the orientation of the deformation of the trapping potential.
