We study the dynamics of domain formation and coarsening in a binary Bose-Einstein condensate that is quenched across a miscible-immiscible phase transition. The late-time evolution of the system is universal and governed by scaling laws for the correlation functions. We numerically determine the scaling forms and extract the critical exponents that describe the growth rate of domain size and autocorrelations. Our data are consistent with inviscid hydrodynamic domain growth, which is governed by a universal dynamical critical exponent of 1/z=0.68(2). In addition, we analyze the effect of domain wall configurations which introduce a nonanalytic term in the short-distance structure of the pair correlation function, leading to a high-momentum "Porod" tail in the static structure factor, which can be measured experimentally.
我们研究了在经历混合-不混溶相变时被猝灭的二元玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中畴形成和粗化的动力学。系统的后期演化是普遍的,并受关联函数的标度律控制。我们通过数值确定了标度形式,并提取了描述畴尺寸和自相关增长速率的临界指数。我们的数据与无粘流体动力学畴生长一致,后者由通用动力学临界指数 1/z=0.68(2) 控制。此外,我们还分析了畴壁结构的影响,该结构在对关联函数的短程结构中引入了非解析项,导致静态结构因子中的高动量“Porod”尾部,这可以在实验中测量到。
