Domain-wall crosses and propellers in binary Bose--Einstein condensates (Q2486253)

The main purpose of the present paper is to construct domain-wall cross patterns for the two dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with positive scattering lengths. The authors introduce both symmetric and asymmetric crosses, depending on the ratio of the number of atoms in the two species. Next, the same type of patterns is considered in a rotating trip. In this framework stability regions for quiescent and rotating symmetric and asymmetric crosses are identified and the evolution of unstable crosses is investigated. Experimental results related to different spin states are also included in the paper.
