Question

What are the unique properties of BEC?

Answer 1

Hi there,

As atoms cool, they behave more like waves and less like particles. When cooled enough, their waves expand and begin to overlap. This is similar to steam condensing on a lid when it is boiled.

The water clumps together to form a drop of water, or condensate. The same occurs with atoms, only it is their waves that merge together. Bose-Einstein condensates are similar to laser light.

 However, instead of photons behaving in a uniform manner, it is the atoms that exist in perfect union. Like a drop of water condensing, the low-energy atoms merge together to form a dense, indistinguishable lump. As of 2011, scientists are just beginning to study the unknown properties of Bose-Einstein condensates. Just as with the laser, scientists will undoubtedly discover many uses for them that will benefit science and humanity.

hope it helps!!

Answer 2

The most obvious property of a BEC is that a large fraction of it particles occupy the same, namely the lowest, energy state. In otomic condensates this can be confirmed by measing the velocity distribution of the atoms in the gas.
