Spin rotons and supersolids in binary antidipolar condensates

Abstract

We present a theoretical study of a mixture of antidipolar and nondipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined to an infinite tube. The long-ranged inverted dipolar interactions result in a spin roton instability associated with an unmodulated-to-supersolid phase transition. We present a phase diagram including unmodulated miscible, supersolid, incoherent domain, and macroscopic domain phases. The low densities of the binary mixture do not require beyond-mean-field quantum fluctuation corrections for stabilization. Our survey ranges from the quasi-1D to the radial Thomas-Fermi (elongated 3D) regimes. We also present the dynamic formation of supersolids following a quench from the uniform miscible phase, which maintains phase coherence across the system.
