Resumen:
We report on ground-state properties of a one-dimensional, weakly interacting Bose gas constrained by an infinite multi-rod periodic structure at zero temperature. We solve the stationary Gross–Pitaevskii equation (GPE) to obtain the Bloch wave functions from which we give a semi-analytical solution for the density profile, as well as for the phase of the wave function in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions, and the incomplete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind. Then, we determine numerically the energy of the ground state, the chemical potential and the compressibility of the condensate and show their dependence on the potential height, as well as on the interaction between the bosons. We show the appearance of loops in the energy band spectrum of the system for strong enough interactions, which appear at the edges of the first Brillouin zone for odd bands and at the center for even bands. We apply our model to predict the energy band structure of the Bose gas in an optical lattice with subwavelength spatial structure. To discuss the density range of the validity of the GPE predictions, we calculate the ground-state energies of the free Bose gas using the GPE, which we compare with the Lieb–Liniger exact energies. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
