Abstract:
In this paper we demonstrate that new phase defects of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) can be produced as a Aharonov-Bohm effect resulting from pure phase twist injection on existing defects. This is a phenomenon that has physical justification in the hydrodynamic interpretation of GPE. Here we give an analytical proof of its effects by using Fermi-Walker transport and Biot-Savart induction law. An analytical derivation of the dispersion relation is derived from the superposition of phase twist on the fundamental state. Since the extra twist corresponds to a topological change of the total linking number of the system, we show that the production of new defects is just another manifestation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We propose a laboratory experiment for Bose-Einstein condensates to test this phenomenon and to show that it can have useful applications in science and technology.
