In this theoretical study, the finite-temperature structure and collective excitations of a self-bound ultradilute Bose droplet in a binary Bose mixture with attractive inter-species interactions on the verge of mean-field collapse are investigated. Significant temperature effects are found in the density distribution and collective excitation spectrum of the Bose droplet, with the critical number of particles at the droplet-to-gas transition dramatically increasing with temperature. The predicted temperature effects of a self-bound Bose droplet in this work may be difficult to measure experimentally due to the lack of efficient thermometry at low temperatures, but could already be present in current cold-atom experiments.
We theoretically investigate the finite-temperature structure and collective excitations of a self-bound ultradilute Bose droplet in a flat space realized in a binary Bose mixture with attractive inter-species interactions on the verge of mean-field collapse. As the droplet formation relies critically on the repulsive force provided by Lee-Huang-Yang quantum fluctuations, which can be easily compensated by thermal fluctuations, we find a significant temperature effect in the density distribution and collective excitation spectrum of the Bose droplet. A finite-temperature phase diagram as a function of the number of particles is determined. We show that the critical number of particles at the droplet-to-gas transition increases dramatically with increasing temperature. Towards the bulk threshold temperature for thermally destabilizing an infinitely large droplet, we find that the excitation-forbidden, self-evaporation region in the excitation spectrum, predicted earlier by Petrov using a zero-temperature theory, shrinks and eventually disappears. All the collective excitations, including both surface modes and compressional bulk modes, become softened at the droplet-to-gas transition. The predicted temperature effects of a self-bound Bose droplet in this work could be difficult to measure experimentally due to the lack of efficient thermometry at low temperatures. However, these effects may already present in the current cold-atom experiments.
