Topological aspect of vortex lines in two-dimensional Gross—Pitaevskii theory

Using the -mapping topological theory, we study the topological structure of vortex lines in a two-dimensional generalized Gross-Pitaevskii theory in (3+1)-dimensional space-time. We obtain the reduced dynamic equation in the framework of the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii theory, from which a conserved dynamic quantity is derived on the stable vortex lines. Such equations can also be used to discuss Bose-Einstein condensates in heterogeneous and highly nonlinear systems. We obtain an exact dynamic equation with a topological term, which is ignored in traditional hydrodynamic equations. The explicit expression of vorticity as a function of the order parameter is derived, where the δ function indicates that the vortices can only be generated from the zero points of Φ and are quantized in terms of the Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. The -mapping topological current theory also provides a reasonable way to study the bifurcation theory of vortex lines in the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii theory.     

Topological Vortices in the Modified Two-Dimensional Gross—Pitaevskii Theory

It is shown that there exists an elementary vortex topological current in the modified two-dimensional Gross—Pitaevskii theory. An explicit expression for the vortex velocity field as a function of the order parameter is derived. The evolution of vortices is studied from the topological properties of the order parameter field. It is found that vortices generate or annihilate at the limit points and encounter, split, or merge at the bifurcation points of the order parameter field .     

Velocity field vortices and Mermin-Ho vortices in two-component spinor BEC

In light of the φ-mapping topological current theory, two important vortex structures in two-component spinor BEC—the velocity field vortices and the Mermin-Ho vortices are discussed. It is revealed that these two different kinds of vortices are created respectively from the zero points of two different order parameter configurations in the condensates, and both their topological charges, locations and motions can be determined by the φ-mapping theory.     

Vortex condensation in the dual Chern–Simons–Higgs model

The contribution of nontrivial vacuum (topological) excitations, more specifically vortex configurations of the self-dual Chern–Simons–Higgs model, to the functional partition function is considered. By using a duality transformation, we arrive at a representation of the partition function in terms of which explicit vortex degrees of freedom are coupled to a dual gauge field. By matching the obtained action to a field theory for the vortices, the physical properties of the model in the presence of vortex excitations are then studied. In terms of this field theory for vortices in the self-dual Chern–Simons–Higgs model, we determine the location of the critical value for the Chern–Simons parameter below which vortex condensation can happen in the system. The effects of self-energy quantum corrections to the vortex field are also considered.

Observation of structures of chain vortices inside anisotropic high- Tc superconductors

In order to elucidate the formation mechanism of unconventional arrangements of vortices in high- Tc superconducting thin films at an inclined magnetic field to the layer plane, we investigated the structures of vortex lines inside the films by Lorentz microscopy using our 1-MV field-emission electron microscope. Our observation results concluded that vortex lines are tilted to form linear chains in YBaCu3O(7,8). Vortex lines in the chain-lattice state in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+delta), on the other hand, are all perpendicular to the layer plane, and therefore only vortices lined up along Josephson vortices form chains.     

Bifurcation of Vortex Density Current in Trapped Bose Condensates

Vortex density current in the Gross-Pitaevskii theory is studied. It is shown that the inner structure of the topological vortices can be classified by Brouwer degrees and Hopf indices of φ-mapping. The dynamical equations of vortex density current have been given. The bifurcation behavior at the critical points of the current is discussed in detail.     

Vortex Lines and Monopoles in Electrically Conducting Plasmas

Based on the φ-mapping topological current theory and the decomposition of gauge potential theory, the vortex lines and the monopoles in electrically conducting plasmas are studied. It is pointed out that these two topological structures respectively inhere in two-dimensional and three-dimensional topological currents, which can be derived from the same topological term n^→·（Эin^→×Эjn^→）, and both these topological structures axe characterized by the φ-mapping topological numbers-Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. Furthermore, the spatial bifurcation of vortex lines and the generation and annihilation of monopoles are also discussed. At last, we point out that the Hopf invaxiant is a proper topological invaxiant to describe the knotted solitons.

Dynamic evolution of Riemann–Silberstein vortices for Gaussian vortex beams

The dynamic evolution of Riemann–Silberstein (RS) vortices for Gaussian vortex beams with topological charges m = ± 1 in free space is studied. It is shown that for Gaussian on-axis vortex beams there exist both RS vortex with m = + 2 and circular edge dislocation. For Gaussian off-axis vortex beams the circular edge dislocation splits into two RS vortices with opposite topological charges m = ± 1 and the RS vortex with m = + 2 decays into two vortices with same topological charges m = + 1. The motion of RS vortices takes place by varying the propagation distance, waist width, off-axis parameter, or topological charge. RS vortices for Gaussian vortex-free beams can be treated as a special case. The results are illustrated analytically and numerically.     

Self-dual Vortices in Schrödinger-Chern-Simons Model

By making use of the U(1) gauge potential decomposition theory and the φ-mapping topological current theory, we investigate the Schrödinger-Chern-Simons model in the thin-film superconductor system and obtain an exact Bogomolny self-dual equation with a topological term. It is revealed that there exist self-dual vortices in the system. We study the inner topological structure of the self-dual vortices and show that their topological charges are topologically quantized and labeled by Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. Furthermore, the vortices are found generating or annihilating at the limit points and encountering, splitting or merging at the bifurcation points of the vector field φ.     

Topological charge inversion in polynomial astigmatic Gaussian beams

The evolution of the global topological charge in a general polynomial astigmatic Gaussian beam is investigated. The leading order terms of the polynomial prefactor determines the global topological charge and can be expressed as a product of first order polynomials, each representing an optical vortex function. We show that the global topological charge is bounded by the order of the polynomial and change during propagation in steps of 2 every time one of the optical vortices undergo topological charge inversion. We investigate the locations of the flip planes where charge inversions occur and provide expressions for a number of special cases. Numerical results are provided for an example of such a polynomial astigmatic Gaussian beam.

Dynamic coupling-decoupling crossover in the current-driven vortex state in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 probed by the Josephson plasma resonance

We have used terahertz spectroscopy to measure the Josephson plasma resonance in the superconductor Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8+delta. This allows us to probe the longitudinal ordering of pancake vortices as a function of applied ab-plane current in a 2.5 kG c-axis magnetic field. With increasing current in the low temperature vortex solid phase, we observe a decrease in the interlayer phase coherence consistent with a progressive misalignment of the pancake vortices in neighboring layers. In the high temperature vortex liquid phase, an increase in the longitudinal ordering occurs above a certain threshold current. Our results show evidence of a current-driven coupling-decoupling crossover in the pinned liquid phase.     

Aspect on vortex structure in noncentrosymmetric superconductors

Helicity of vortices is studied in a single order parameter Ginzburg-Landau model with n × B term. This unusual term changes the superconductor current, but does not change the quantum of magnetic flux, and the cross helicity of the probability density current in noncentrosymmetric superconductors. In this paper I compute the kinetic helicity and magnetic helicity of a superconductor and introduce a new helicity, i.e. a new topological invariant, to describe vortex phase.
