Kink soliton dynamics in one-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate with higher-order nonlinear interactions

Abstract

We investigated the soliton behavior in one-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensates. Based on the modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation (GPE) model with higher-order nonlinear interaction and through the [Formula: see text]-expansion method, we derived the analytical kink soliton solution of the one-dimensional GPE. The typical kink soliton features under the specific experimental setting are identified, and the physical implication of the analytical results is also demonstrated. The derived theoretical results can be used to guide the experimental study of kink soliton in ultracold atomic systems with higher-order nonlinearity.
