Vortex Matter, Effective Magnetic Charges, And Generalizations Of Dipolar Superfluidity Concept In Layered Systems, Egor Babaev Nov 2006

Vortex Matter, Effective Magnetic Charges, And Generalizations Of Dipolar Superfluidity Concept In Layered Systems, Egor Babaev

In the first part of this letter we discuss electrodynamics of an excitonic condensate in a bilayer. We show that under certain conditions the system has a dominant energy scale and is described by the effective electrodynamics with "planar magnetic charges". In the second part of the paper we point out that a vortex liquid state in bilayer superconductors also possesses dipolar superfluid modes and establish equivalence mapping between this state and a dipolar excitonic condensate. We point out that a vortex liquid state in an N-layer superconductor possesses multiple topologically coupled dipolar superfluid modes and therefore represents a generalization …

We perform Monte Carlo studies of vortices in three dimensions in a cylindrical confinement, with uniform and nonuniform density. The former is relevant to rotating 4He, the latter is relevant to a rotating trapped Bose condensate. In the former case we find dominant angular thermal vortex fluctuations close to the cylinder wall. For the latter case, a novel effect is that at low temperatures the vortex solid close to the center of the trap crosses directly over to a tension-less vortex tangle near the edge of the trap. At higher temperatures an intermediate tension-full vortex liquid located between the vortex …
