Two-dimensional supersolid formation in dipolar condensates

T Bland, E Poli, C Politi, L Klaus, MA Norcia… - Physical Review Letters, 2022‏ - APS
Dipolar condensates have recently been coaxed to form the long-sought supersolid phase.
While one-dimensional supersolids may be prepared by triggering a roton instability, we find …

Heating a dipolar quantum fluid into a solid

J Sánchez-Baena, C Politi, F Maucher… - Nature …, 2023‏ - nature.com
Raising the temperature of a material enhances the thermal motion of particles. Such an
increase in thermal energy commonly leads to the melting of a solid into a fluid and …

Self-bound dipolar droplets and supersolids in molecular Bose-Einstein condensates

M Schmidt, L Lassablière, G Quéméner, T Langen - Physical Review Research, 2022‏ - APS
