Soliton characteristics of two-dimensional condensates with two- and three-body interaction

Abstract

By using multiple-scale method, we study analytically the soliton characteristics of the two-dimensional condensates with two- and three-body interaction. The results show that a ring dark soliton can be found in the condensates when the two-body interaction is repulsive and three-body interaction is attractive. With the strength of the three-body interaction decreasing, the height of the center peak of the ring dark soliton decreases. When the three-body interaction vanishes, the ring dark soliton becomes a perfect dark soliton. If the two- and the three-body interaction are both repulsive,the width and the amplitude of the dark soliton decrease with the strength of the three-body interaction increasing. Especially, if the strength of the three-body interaction is large, which is on the order of that of the two-body interaction, the condensat collapse takes place.
