We consider an atomic Bose–Einstein condensate parametrically coupled to a molecular condensate with tunable interactions. The space distribution and nonlinear dynamics of this coupled system, especially the parametric solitons, are investigated within the full parameter space accounts for all the nonlinear two-body collisions, together with the atom–molecule conversion coupling and the bare formation energy of the molecular species. The results show that the exact parametric solitons can be formed via controlled nonlinear interactions, and the atom–molecule transfer term can provide an effective potential which can be used to stable the coupled system even in the absence of the external potential. We also give an experimental setup and detection of the atomic–molecular Bose–Einstein condensates in future experiments.
