Random-phase approximation study of collective excitations in the Bose-Fermi mixed condensate of alkali-metal gases
We perform Random Phase Approximation (RPA) study of collective excitations
in the bose-fermi mixed degenerate gas of Alkali-metal atoms at T=0. The
calculation is done by diagonalization in a model space composed of
particle-hole type excitations from the ground state, the latter being obtained
from the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii and Thomas-Fermi equations. We investigate
strength distributions for different combinations of bose and fermi multipole
() operators with . Transition densities and dynamical structure
factors are calculated for collective excitations. Comparison with the sum rule
prediction for the collective frequency is given. Time dependent behavior of
the system after an external impulse is studied.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
