Influence of geometric structure on information entropy in spin-1 ferromagnetic dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the dynamics properties of spin-1 ferromagnetic Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with dipole–dipole interaction (DDI). Numerical results are obtained by solving the mean-field nonlocal Gross–Pitaevskii equation. We find that the population of the information entropy in momentum space [Formula: see text] is greatly affected by geometric structure and dipole strength. The prolate condensate is favorable to obtain bigger [Formula: see text] than oblate condensate. The density distribution verifies that the formation of magnetic domain is associated with the variation of [Formula: see text]. In addition, the kinetic energy displays that dramatical oscillation appears for strong dipolar interaction and it is larger in prolate condensate. Also, we use the order parameter to describe the order–disorder crossover. It is shown that BECs develop toward the disordered state with prolate condensate under strong DDI.
