Novel vortex structures in dipolar condensates

Other Condensed Matter 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We investigate the properties of single vortices and of vortex lattice in a rotating dipolar condensate. We show that vortices in this system possess many novel features induced by the long-range anisotropic dipolar interaction between particles. For example, when the dipoles are polarized along the rotation axis, vortices may display a crater-like structure; when dipoles are polarized orthogonal to the rotation axis, vortex cores takes an elliptical shape and the vortex lattice no longer possesses hexagonal symmetry.
