Magnetization of a half-quantum vortex in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate

Other Condensed Matter 2009-12-02 v1

Abstract

Magnetization dynamics of a half-quantum vortex in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate with a ferromagnetic interaction are investigated by mean-field and Bogoliubov analyses. The transverse magnetization is shown to break the axisymmetry and form threefold domains. This phenomenon originates from the topological structure of the half-quantum vortex and spin conservation.
