The dominating wavelength of the spatial structures is shown to be primarily selected by the excitation frequency but also affected by the depth of the spatial modulation via a nonlinear resonance. These phenomena represent macroscopic quantum analogues of the Faraday waves excited in vertically shaken liquids.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-24T08:18:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bose-einstein condensates", "faraday patterns", "phenomena represent macroscopic quantum analogues", "temporal periodic modulation", "interatomic s-wave scattering length" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
