A binary mixture of interacting Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) in the presence of fragmentation-driving external lattice potentials forms two interdependent mean-field lattices made of each component. These effective mean-field lattices, like ordinary optical lattices, can induce fragmentation and phase coherence loss of BECs between lattice sites. We consider the nonequilibrium dynamics of two hyperfine states of 1D Bose-Einstein condensates confined by a harmonic trap, subjected to state-dependent optical lattices. Our numerical mean-field calculations using the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA), include quantum and thermal fluctuations. We show loss of phase coherence in an unequal mixture of two-component BECs in a gradual ramp-up of one or two applied optical lattices, and we study coherence loss from mean-field lattices as a function of lattice height.
