Texture and shape of two-dimensional domains of nematic liquid crystal
R. M. W. van Bijnen, R. H. J. Otten, P. van der Schoot
We present a generalized approach to compute the shape and internal structure of two-dimensional nematic domains. By using conformal mappings, we are able to compute the director f…
Adiabatic Formation of Rydberg Crystals with Chirped Laser Pulses
R. M. W. van Bijnen, S. Smit, K. A. H. van Leeuwen +2
Ultracold atomic gases have been used extensively in recent years to realize textbook examples of condensed matter phenomena. Recently, phase transitions to ordered structures have…
Synthetic magneto-hydrodynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates and routes to vortex nucleation
L. B. Taylor, R. M. W. van Bijnen, D. H. J. O'Dell +3
Engineering of synthetic magnetic flux in Bose-Einstein condensates [Lin et al., Nature {\bf 462}, 628 (2009)] has prospects for attaining the high vortex densities necessary to em…
Collective excitation frequencies and stationary states of trapped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in the Thomas-Fermi regime
R. M. W. van Bijnen, N. G. Parker, S. J. J. M. F. Kokkelmans +2
We present a general method for obtaining the exact static solutions and collective excitation frequencies of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with dipolar atomic interacti…
Exact solutions and stability of rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in the Thomas-Fermi limit
R. M. W. van Bijnen, A. J. Dow, D. H. J. O'Dell +2
We present a theoretical analysis of dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensates with dipolar atomic interactions under rotation in elliptical traps. Working in the Thomas-Fermi limit, we…
