Nonadiabatic distortion in the current distribution around a moving vortex

Abstract

We study the phase distribution around a vortex in uniform motion. We consider both the cases of neutral and charged superfluids. The motion of the vortex causes the density of the system to fluctuate. This in turn produces a compensating current, thus ensuring current conservation locally. We explicitly calculate this current.

Vortex motion in charged and neutral superfluids: A hydrodynamic approach

Edouard B Sonin, V. B. Geshkenbeǐn, Anne van Otterlo +1 more

We derive a Galilean invariant expression for the electric field induced by a vortex moving through a charged superfluid at $T=0$, which holds for any superconductor, from the dirty to the superclean limit. The contribution of different areas around the vortex to the average electric field and to the charge distribution is analyzed. The results are extended to a neutral system, where the chemical potential takes over the role of the electrostatic potential in the charged situation. Different contributions to the vortex mass in charged and neutral superfluids are brought together for comparison and discussion.

Motion of charged vortex rings in helium II

David C. Samuels, Russell James Donnelly

We show that an ion carried through an electric field by a quantized vortex ring in helium II will cause a symmetric change in the radius of the ring, even though the ion is located asymmetrically on the core of the vortex ring. The localized force on the ion will combine with a specific series of vortex waves to give a uniform growth of the ring with a small component of drift velocity perpendicular to the applied electric field. This type of energy transfer may also play an important role in superfluid turbulence. Our calculations should be valid for localized forces on thin-core classical vortices as well.

Quantum vortex dynamics in two-dimensional neutral superfluids

C.‐C. Joseph Wang, R. A. Duine, Allan H. MacDonald

We derive an effective action for the vortex-position degree of freedom in a superfluid by integrating out condensate phase- and density-fluctuation environmental modes. When the quantum dynamics of environmental fluctuations is neglected, we confirm the occurrence of the vortex Magnus force and obtain an expression for the vortex mass. We find that this adiabatic approximation is valid only when the superfluid droplet radius $R$, or the typical distance between vortices, is very much larger than the coherence length $\ensuremath{\xi}$. We go beyond the adiabatic approximation numerically, accounting for the quantum dynamics of environmental modes and capturing their dissipative coupling to condensate dynamics. For the case of an optical-lattice superfluid, we demonstrate that vortex motion damping can be adjusted by tuning the ratio between the tunneling energy $J$ and the on-site interaction energy $U$. We comment on the possibility of realizing vortex-Landau-level physics.

Berry Phase Effects on the Dynamics of Quasiparticles in a Superfluid with a Vortex

Chuanwei Zhang, Artem M. Dudarev, Qian Niu

We study quasiparticle dynamics in a Bose-Einstein condensate with a vortex by following the center of mass motion of a Bogoliubov wave packet, and find important Berry-phase effects due to the background flow. We show that the Berry phase invalidates the usual canonical relation between the mechanical momentum and position variables, leading to important modifications of quasiparticle statistics and thermodynamic properties of the condensates. Applying these results to a vortex in an infinite uniform superfluid, we find that the total transverse force acting on the vortex is proportional to the superfluid density. We propose an experimental setup to directly observe Berry phase effects through measuring local thermal atoms' momentum distribution around a vortex.

ADIABATIC EFFECTIVE ACTION FOR VORTICES IN NEUTRAL AND CHARGED SUPERFLUIDS

Machiko Hatsuda, Motoki Sato, Shigeaki Yahikozawa +1 more

Adiabatic effective action for vortices in neutral and charged superfluids at zero temperature are calculated using the topological Landau-Ginzburg theory recently proposed by Hatsuda, Yahikozawa, Ao and Thouless, and vortex dynamics are examined. The Berry phase term arising in the effective action naturally yields the Magnus force in both neutral and charged superfluids. It is shown that in neutral superfluid there is only one degree of freedom, namely the center of vorticities, and the vortex energy is proportional to the sum of all vorticities so that it is finite only for the vanishing total vorticity of the system. On the other hand the effective mass and the vortex energy for a vortex in charged superfluids are defined individually as expected. The effects of the vortex core on these quantities are also estimated. The possible depinning scenario which is governed by the Magnus force and the inertial mass is also discussed.

Superfluid compressibility and the inertial mass of a moving singularity

Ji-Min Duan

The concept of finite compressibility of a Fermi superfluid is used to reconsider the problem of inertial mass of vortex lines in both neutral and charged superfluids at T=0. For the charged case, in contrast to previous works where perfect screening was assumed, we take proper account of electromagnetic screening and solve the bulk charge distribution caused by a moving vortex line. A similar problem for a superconducting thin film is also considered.
