Pinning of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate by an optical lattice.
We consider the ground state of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that turning on a weak optical periodic potential leads to a transition from the triangular Abrikosov vortex lattice to phases where the vortices are pinned by the optical potential. We discuss the phase diagram of the system for a two-dimensional optical periodic potential with one vortex per optical lattice cell. ...
متن کاملPinning an ion with an intracavity optical lattice.
We report one-dimensional pinning of a single ion by an optical lattice. A standing-wave cavity produces the lattice potential along the rf-field-free axis of a linear Paul trap. The ion's localization is detected by measuring its fluorescence when excited by standing-wave fields with the same period, but different spatial phases. The experiments agree with an analytical model of the localizati...
متن کاملCrystallographic Pinning: Direction Dependent Pinning in Lattice Differential Equations
We study dynamical phenomena for a class of lattice differential equations, namely infinite systems of ordinary differential equations coordinatized by points on a spatial lattice. We examine in particular the dependence of traveling wave solutions on the direction of motion of the traveling wave. The phenomenon of crystallographic pinning occurs when there is a tendency for a wave to become pi...
متن کاملPinning phenomena in a superconducting film with a square lattice of artificial pinning centers
We study the transport properties of a superconducting Nb film with a square lattice of artificial pinning centers (APCs) as a function of dc current, at a temperature close to the superconducting transition temperature of the film. We find that, at low dc currents, the differential resistance of the film shows the standard matching field anomaly, that is, the differential resistance has a loca...
متن کاملDynamical Bloch Band Suppression in an Optical Lattice
Dynamical Bloch band suppression is observed for the first time, using cold sodium atoms in a far detuned standing wave of light. This system has well-defined Bloch bands as its energy spectrum, which are modified dynamically by imposing a strong phase modulation of the standing wave. The atoms are prepared in the lowest band, and the spectrum is mapped out by introducing a weak spectroscopic p...
