Dynamics of Charged Quantized Vortices
arXiv:0909.2151
Abstract
We study theoretically the dynamics of charged quantized vortices (CQVs). CQVs (ion-vortex complexes) have been used as an important probe in the field of quantum hydrodynamics. Recent experimental studies of quantum turbulence at very low temperatures utilize CQVs. In this work we propose the equation of motion of CQVs based on the vortex filament model. An analytical solution for a charged vortex ring shows how it expands under an electric field. Numerical simulation reveals the characteristic behavior of CQVs under an electric field.
