Abstract

We have calculated the F = 1 ground state of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate trapped harmonical 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 F z = −1 antiferromagnetic condensate are separated in space. Moreover we considered an average local spin \(\left| {\left\langle {\overrightarrow S } \right\rangle } \right|\) to testify to what extend it is parallel to magnetic field (the nonadiabatic effects). We have shown that the effects are important at vortex cores.
