We study vortex dynamics in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable two- and three-body interactions. The dynamics is governed by two-dimensional cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A time-dependent variational method has been used to obtain critical rotational frequency and surface mode frequency analytically and are compared with numerical simulation results. An imaginary time propagation method and Crank-Nicolson scheme for discretization have been used for numerical simulation. The numerically calculated average value of the angular momentum per particle shows very clearly its dynamical relation with the time development of the vortex formation. The rotational frequency dependence of the variation of average value of the angular momentum per particle with time shows that vortices form much faster in time for higher rotational frequency. Similarly, the vortex forms much faster in time with an increase of the strength of the repulsive three-body interaction. The simulation of the vortex lattice formation in the condensate shows that the presence of the three-body interactions does not alter the vortex lattice pattern but it helps in the shape deformations of the condensate thereby leading to vortex lattice formation. Likewise, the three-body interactions enable the vortex lattice formation in Bose-Einstein condensates even with attractive two-body interactions and in purely quintic BEC.

Magnetocaloric Effect for a -Clock-Type System.

In this work, we study the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in a working substance corresponding to a square lattice of spins with possible orientations, known as the "-state clock model". When the -state clock model has Q≥5 possible configurations, it presents the famous Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase associated with vortex states. We calculate the thermodynamic quantities using Monte Carlo simulations for even numbers, ranging from Q=2 to Q=8 spin orientations per site in a lattice.

This work reports magnetic field direction dependent second magnetisation peak (SMP) anomaly in single crystals of oxygenated [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] ab. Detailed investigations on crystal A revealed the direction dependence of SMP anomaly at temperatures below 25 K, above which the direction dependence vanishes. The state of spatial order of the vortex lattice was found to be correlated to the vortex lattice symmetry that underwent a change at certain fields and was captured via single flux jumps observed in the third and fifth quadrant of magnetisation hysteresis loops.

Hydrodynamic moiré superlattice.

The structural periodicity in photonic crystals guarantees the crystal's effective energy band structure, which is the fundamental cornerstone of topological and moiré physics. However, the shear modulus in most fluids is close to zero, which makes it challenging for fluids to maintain spatial periodicity akin to photonic crystals. We realized periodic vortices in hydrodynamic metamaterials and created a bilayer moiré superlattice by stacking and twisting two such vortex fluids.

Fate of vortex-synchronized state in oscillator networks with node defects.

Department of Physics and State Key Laboratory of Surface Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China.

We investigate synchronization behaviors of a Kuramoto oscillator network with a two-dimensional square-lattice configuration. We show that the oscillator network can reach a phase-locking vortex synchronized state in the long time limit starting from random initial oscillator phases sampled according to the von Mises distribution characterized by a zero mean and a finite concentration parameter. We further reveal that the stability of the vortex synchronized state is sensitive to the presence of local node defects, in contrast to the usual knowledge that oscillator networks should exhibit robustness against local perturbations.

Moiré metasurfaces exhibit high optical tuneabilities and versatile light manipulation capabilities. Both infinite quality factor (Q factor) and topological vortex configurations in momentum space (-space) of the bound state in the continuum (BIC) have introduced new dimensions for light modulation. Herein, we propose a moiré metasurface comprising two identical square photonic lattices superimposed with a commensurate angle of 12.
