  • Title: Dynamical vortex phases in a Bose-Einstein condensate driven by a rotating optical lattice.
    Author: Kasamatsu K, Tsubota M.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2006 Dec 15; 97(24):240404. PubMed ID: 17280259.
    Abstract:
    We present simulation results of the vortex dynamics in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a rotating optical lattice. Changing the potential amplitude and the relative rotation frequency between the condensate and the optical lattice, we find a rich variety of dynamical phases of vortices. The onset of these different phases is described by the force balance of a driving force, a pinning force, and vortex-vortex interactions. In particular, when the optical lattice rotates faster than the condensate, an incommensurate effect leads to a vortex-liquid phase supported by the competition between the driving force and the dissipation.
