Disorder Induced Vortex Lattice Melting in Bose-Einstein Condensate
arXiv:1601.00071 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.93.013620
Abstract
We study the vortex lattice dynamics in presence of single impurity as well as random impurities or disorder. We show that in presence of a single impurity the vortex lattice gets distorted and the distortion depends on the position of the single impurity with respect to the positions of the vortices in the impurity free Abrikosov vortex lattice and also the strength of the impurity potential. We then show that a new type of giant hole with hidden vortices inside it can be created in the vortex lattice by a cluster of impurities. In presence of random impurity potential or disorder the vortex lattice melts. We show that the vortex lattice also melts in presence of pseudorandom potential generated by the superposition of two optical lattices. The absence of long-range order in the melted vortex lattice is demonstrated from the structure factor profile and the histogram of the distances between each pair of the vortices.
