Trapped instability and vortex formation by an unstable coastal current

Vortex formation by merging of multiple trapped Bose-Einstein condensates.

We report observations of vortex formation by merging and interfering multiple (87)Rb Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a confining potential. In this experiment, a single harmonic potential well is partitioned into three sections by a barrier, enabling the simultaneous formation of three independent, uncorrelated BECs. The BECs may either automatically merge together during their growth, or ...

Vortex Instability and Transient Growth

The dynamics of vortex flow is studied theoretically and numerically. Starting from a local analysis, where the perturbation in the vortex flow is Fourier decomposed in both radial and azimuthal directions, a modified Chebyshev polynomial method is used to discretize the linearized governing operator. The spectrum of the operator is divided into three groups: discrete spectrum, free-stream spec...

Magnetic Vortex Dynamics Induced by an Electrical Current

Amagnetic nanoparticle in a vortex state is a promising candidate for the information storage. One bit of information corresponds to the upward or downward magnetization of the vortex core (vortex polarity). The dynamics of the magnetic vortex driven by a spin current is studied theoretically. Using a simple analytical model and numerical simulations, we show that a nondecaying vortex motion ca...
