Collision-Dependent Atom Tunnelling Rate in Bose-Einstein Condensates
We show that the interaction (cross-collision) between atoms trapped in
distinct sites of a double-well potential can significantly increase the atom
tunneling rate for special trap configurations leading to an effective linear
Rabi regime of population oscillation between the trap wells. The inclusion of
cross-collisional effects significantly extends the validity of the two-mode
model approach allowing it to be alternatively employed to explain the recently
observed increase of tunneling rates due to nonlinear interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. Replaced with improved versio
Optimal Conditions for Atomic Homodyne Detection on Bose-Einstein Condensates
The dynamics of a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well
potential results approximately in an effective Rabi oscillation regime of
exchange of population between both wells for sufficiently strong overlap
between the modes functions. Facing this system as a temporal atomic beam
splitter we show that this regime is optimal for a nondestructive atom-number
measurement allowing an atomic homodyne detection, thus yielding indirect
relative phase information about one of the two-mode condensates.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Spin-polarized transport in ferromagnetic multilayered semiconductor nanostructures
The occurrence of inhomogeneous spin-density distribution in multilayered
ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor nanostructures leads to strong
dependence of the spin-polarized transport properties on these systems. The
spin-dependent mobility, conductivity and resistivity in
(Ga,Mn)As/GaAs,(Ga,Mn)N/GaN, and (Si,Mn)/Si multilayers are calculated as a
function of temperature, scaled by the average magnetization of the diluted
magnetic semiconductor layers. An increase of the resistivity near the
transition temperature is obtained. We observed that the spin-polarized
transport properties changes strongly among the three materials.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
