Surfactant behavior in three-component Bose-Einstein condensates
Surfactant behavior in three-component Bose-Einstein condensates
In classical fluids, surfactants enter the interface between two immiscible fluids and reduce the interfacial tension. We show that a similar situation can be realized in a three-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which a phase-separated two-component BEC forms an interface and the third component enters the interface. We derive an …
