Coreless vortex dipoles and bubbles in phase-separated binary condensates

Abstract: Vortex dipoles are generated when an obstacle moves through a superfluid. In case of phase-separated binary condensates, with appropriate interaction parameters in pan-cake shaped traps, we show that coreless vortex dipoles are created when a Gaussian obstacle beam traverses across them above a critical speed. As the obstacle passes through the inner component, it carries along a bubble of the outer component. Using Thomas-Fermi approximation, we show that phase-separated binary condensates can either support vortices with empty or filled cores. For time dependent obstacle potentials, ramped down in the present case, relative energy scales of the system influence the dynamical evolution of the binary condensate.
