We calculate the collective excitations of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in the regime where it self-binds into droplets stabilized by quantum fluctuations. We show that the filament-shaped droplets act as a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide along which low-angular-momentum phonons propagate. The evaporation (unbinding) threshold occurring as the atom number N is reduced to the critical value N_{c} is associated with a monopolelike excitation going soft as ε_{0}∼(N-N_{c})^{1/4}. Considering the system in the presence of a trapping potential, we quantify the crossover from a trap-bound condensate to a self-bound droplet.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 December 2017.
All research outputs
#22,751,409
of 32,950,213 outputs
Outputs from Physical Review Letters
#35,133
of 50,032 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#311,933
of 480,353 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Physical Review Letters
#391
of 613 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,950,213 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 50,032 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.7. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 480,353 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 613 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
