Roton Instability in Quantum Droplets with Finite-Range Soft-Core Interaction
Avra Banerjee
Abstract
We investigate the emergence of roton instability in self-bound quantum droplets interacting via a finite-range soft-core potential modeled by a Heaviside step interaction. The ground-state properties are obtained by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation including Lee-Huang-Yang corrections with a nonlocal interaction term. The collective excitation spectrum reveals the formation and progressive softening of a roton minimum as the interaction strength and range increase. When the roton energy approaches zero, the system becomes unstable, signaling the onset of density modulation. The rotonic behavior is further characterized through the static structure factor, which exhibits pronounced peaks at the roton momentum.
