Asymmetric vortices.
Amplitude distributions of the u- (a) and v- (b) components of the asymmetric (R = 0.5) vortex soliton at g = 1 and M = 20. (c) Dependence of the norm (M) on the chemical potentials (μ and λ) of the two components of the vortex for different asymmetry ratios at g = 1. Solid and dashed lines denote stable and instable solutions, respectively, while triangles represent the VA predictions, as per Eqs (16)–(19). Regions of stability and instability for the vortices are shown for g = 1 in (d), g = 1.1 in (e), and g = 1.2 in (f).
