Vortices in trapped boson-fermion mixtures

Abstract

We consider a trapped system of atomic boson-fermion mixture with a quantized vortex. We investigate the density profiles of bosonic and fermionic components as functions of the boson-boson and boson-fermion short-range interaction strengths within the mean-filed approach. Stability of a vortex and conditions for the phase segregation are studied. We compare and contrast our results with the related system of droplets of 3He-4He mixtures.
