Sound, superfluidity and layer compressibility in a ring dipolar supersolid
Abstract
We propose a protocol to excite the Goldstone modes of a supersolid dipolar Bose-Einstein condensed gas confined in a ring geometry. By abruptly removing an applied periodic modulation proportional to cos(), where is the azimuthal angle, we explore the resulting oscillations of the gas, by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The value of the two longitudinal sound velocities exhibited in the supersolid phase are analyzed using the hydrodynamic theory of supersolids at zero temperature. This approach allows for the determination of the layer compressibility modulus as well as of the superfluid fraction fS, in agreement with the Leggett estimate of the non-classical moment of inertia.
