Bose-Einstein Condensates
Phase Transition to a Bose-Einstein Condensate
The definite pictures you have to show, when you have a Bose-Einstein condensate ;-)
Density distribution after releasing the atoms from the trapping potential. (Left) Thermal cloud just above the phase transition, (middle) partly condensed cloud and (right) almost pure condensate.
