Giant vortex and Skyrmion in a rotating two-species Bose-Einstein condensate

Other Condensed Matter 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Numerical simulations are performed for a rotating two-species Bose condensate confined by a harmonic potential. The particle numbers of each species are unequal. When the rotational speed exceeds a critical value, the majority species reside in the center of the potential while the minority species is pushed out to the outskirts, forming a giant vortex hole to contain the majority species. A novel annular Skyrmion forms at the interface of the two species.
