Mode bifurcation in the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of binary
condensates
   [PDF]

Arko Roy, S. Gautam, D. Angom
We examine the generation and subsequent evolution of Rayleigh Taylor instability in anisotropic binary Bose-Einstein condensates. Considering a pancake-shaped geometry, to initiate the instability we tune the intraspecies interaction and analytically study the normal modes of the interface in elliptic cylindrical coordinates. The normal modes are then Mathieu functions and undergoes bifurcation at particular values of anisotropy and ratio of number of atoms. We find that the analytical estimates of the bifurcation parameters are in good agreement with the numerical results.
