Table 1 A summary of the properties of vortices in the rotating atomic-molecular BECs of 87Rb when the system reaches the equilibrium state. The atomic-molecular vortices are composite in the matching region [inside the green circle in Figs. 2(c)–(e)]
From: Crystallized and amorphous vortices in rotating atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates
Region (in Fig. 5) | Vortex state (in the matching region) | Lattice of atomic vortex | Lattice of molecular vortex | Vortex lattice out of the matching region |
|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) | Overlapped atomic-molecular vortices with interstitial molecular vortices | square | square | triangular |
(2) | carbon-dioxide-type atomic-molecular vortices | triangular | amorphous | triangular |
(3) | atomic vortices with interstitial molecular vortices | square/amorphous/triangular | triangular/amorphous/honeycomb | triangular |
AMBEC(II) | separated atomic vortices and molecular vortices | triangular | triangular | No |
atomic BEC | pure atomic vortices | triangular | No | No |
molecular BEC | pure molecular vortices | No | triangular | No |
