Recently, there has been great interest in the properties of hollow Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which are generated nowadays with radio-frequency (rf) dressing [1]. As an alternative method, we propose to realize hollow BECs by utilizing a dual-species mixture. A proper choice of the parameters allows us to create a ground state where one species is in the center and generates a repulsive effective potential for the second species, giving rise to a shell-shaped BEC [2]. In order to obtain the main properties of this setup, in particular the width of the outer shell, we employ the Gross-Pitaevskii equation within the Thomas-Fermi approximation. Moreover, we investigate the spectrum of collective excitations with an emphasis on the transition from a filled to a hollow geometry. In the latter case, a new inner boundary appears, leading to a change of the collective mode spectrum.
