Vortex Phase Diagram in Rotating Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

Vortex phase diagram in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.

We investigate the structure of vortex states in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with equal intracomponent but varying intercomponent-coupling constants. A phase diagram in the intercomponent-coupling versus rotation-frequency plane reveals rich equilibrium structures of vortex states. As the ratio of intercomponent to intracomponent couplings increases, the interlocked vortex ...

Vortex lattice locking in rotating two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

The vortex density of a rotating superfluid, divided by its particle mass, dictates the superfluid’s angular velocity through the Feynman relation. To find how the Feynman relation applies to superfluid mixtures, we investigate a rotating two-component Bose–Einstein condensate, composed of bosons with different masses. We find that in the case of sufficiently strong interspecies attraction, the...

Vortex Lattices in Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates

Vortex molecules in coherently coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.

A vortex molecule is predicted in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates whose internal hyperfine states are coupled coherently by an external field. A vortex in one component and one in the other are connected by a domain wall of the relative phase, constituting a "vortex molecule," which features a nonaxisymmetric (pseudo)spin texture with a pair of merons. The binding mechanism of ...

Vortex-peak interaction and lattice shape in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

When a two component Bose-Einstein condensate is placed into rotation, a lattice of vortices and cores appear. The geometry of this lattice (triangular or square) varies according to the rotational value and the intercomponent coupling strengths. In this paper, assuming a Thomas-Fermi regime, we derive a point energy which allows us to determine for which values of the parameters the lattice go...
