  • Title: Vortex nucleation in Bose-Einstein condensates in an oblate, purely magnetic potential.
    Author: Hodby E, Hechenblaikner G, Hopkins SA, Maragò OM, Foot CJ.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2002 Jan 07; 88(1):010405. PubMed ID: 11800928.
    Abstract:
    We have investigated the formation of vortices by rotating the purely magnetic potential confining a Bose-Einstein condensate. We modified the bias field of an axially symmetric TOP trap to create an elliptical potential that rotates in the radial plane. This enabled us to study the conditions for vortex nucleation over a wide range of eccentricities and rotation rates.
