Resumo

The dynamics of quantized vortices in two-dimensional two-component miscible Bose-Einstein condensates trapped by a box potential has been numerically studied using the Gross-Pitaevskii model. We have discovered a phenomenon where the vortices of the two components spatially separate from each other, which we call the phase separation of the distribution of vortices. This phase separation occurs when the intercomponent coupling is strong. Onsager vortices, on the other hand, are formed in both components when the intercomponent coupling is weak. We distinguish between Onsager vortices and phase-separated vortices by two types of effective distances between vortices. The dependence of the transition between the Onsager vortices and phase-separated vortices on the intercomponent interaction is also studied.
