Shape of vortices for a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate

Amandine Aftalion, Robert L. Jerrard

For a Bose-Einstein condensate placed in a rotating trap, we study the simplified energy of a vortex line derived by Aftalion and Riviere [Phys. Rev. A 64, 043611 (2001)] in order to determine the shape of the vortex line according to the rotational velocity and the elongation of the condensate. The energy reflects the competition between the length of the vortex, which needs to be minimized taking into account the anisotropy of the trap, and the rotation term, which pushes the vortex along the z axis. We prove that if the condensate has the shape of a pancake, the vortex stays straight along the z axis, while in the case of a cigar, the vortex is bent. We study the local stability of the straight vortex and find an estimate for the critical angular speed at which bent vortices are nucleated. When vortices are nucleated, we prove that they must have some finite length.

Vortex energy and vortex bending for a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate

Amandine Aftalion, Tristan Rivière

For a Bose-Einstein condensate placed in a rotating trap, we give a simplified expression of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy in the Thomas Fermi regime, which only depends on the number and shape of the vortex lines. Then we check numerically, that when there is one vortex line, our simplified expression leads to solutions with a bent vortex for a range of rotational velocities and trap parameters that are consistent with the experiments.
