Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 200401 (2003) [4 pages]Vortex Phase Diagram of F=1 Spinor Bose-Einstein CondensatesReceived 1 October 2002; published 21 May 2003 We have calculated the F=1 ground state of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate trapped harmonic potential with an applied Ioffe-Pitchard magnetic field. The vortex phase diagram is found in the plane spanned by perpendicular and longitudinal magnetic fields. The ferromagnetic condensate has two vortex phases which differ by winding number in the spinor components. The two vortices for the Fz=-1 antiferromagnetic condensate are separated in space. Moreover, we considered an average local spin |⟨S⃗⟩| to testify to what extent it is parallel to magnetic field (the nonadiabatic effects). We have shown that the effects are important at vortex cores. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
