Mass-driven vortex collisions in flat superfluids

A Richaud, G Lamporesi, M Capone, A Recati - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Quantum vortices are often endowed with an effective inertial mass, due, for example, to
massive particles in their cores. Such “massive vortices” display new phenomena beyond …

Coarsening dynamics of an isotropic ferromagnetic superfluid

LA Williamson, PB Blakie - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
In zero magnetic field the ground-state manifold of a ferromagnetic spin-1 condensate is SO
(3) and exhibits Z 2 vortices as topological defects. We investigate the phase-ordering …

Nematic ordering dynamics of an antiferromagnetic spin-1 condensate

LM Symes, PB Blakie - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We consider the formation of order in a quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin-1
condensate quenched from an easy-axis to an easy-plane nematic phase. We define the …

Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) under a linear Zeeman magnetic field disturbed by a …

Properties of a nematic spin vortex in an antiferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate

APC Underwood, D Baillie, PB Blakie, H Takeuchi - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
A spin-1 condensate with antiferromagnetic interactions supports nematic spin vortices in
the easy-plane polar phase. These vortices have a 2 π winding of the nematic director with a …

[PDF][PDF] Anomalous phase ordering of a quenched ferromagnetic superfluid

L Williamson, B Blackie - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
Coarsening dynamics, the canonical theory of phase ordering following a quench across a
symmetry breaking phase transition, is thought to be driven by the annihilation of topological …

Phase diagram of vortices in the polar phase of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

H Takeuchi - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
The phase diagram of lowest-energy vortices in the polar phase of spin-1 Bose-Einstein
condensates is investigated theoretically. Singly quantized vortices are categorized by the …
