Effect from Surfactant to Interfacial Tension of Ternary Bose-einstein Condensates
Main Article Content
Abstract
We investigate the variation of interfacial tension between two-component Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) when an additional component is embedded and acts as a surfactant. The presence of this surfactant component reduces the interfacial tension and may give rise to a critical wetting phenomenon. In the absence of the surfactant-induced reduction of interfacial tension, however, the wetting transition proceeds as a first-order phase transition.
