Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 5718–5721 (1998)Phase Separation of Bose-Einstein CondensatesReceived 26 August 1997; revised 10 September 1998; published in the issue dated 28 December 1998 We distinguish two types of spatial separation exhibited by atomic trap Bose-Einstein condensates: potential separation, in which case the condensates diffuse into each other as the trap is opened adiabatically, and phase separation, in which case the separation persists in the absence of external potentials. We discuss relevant features of the dynamics and statics of the phase separation of dilute condensates. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
