摘要
The instability condition of the nonvortex state toward vortex formation is examined within the Bogoliubov theory when a Bose-Einstein condensate is under externally forced rotation. The obtained critical angular velocity combined with the previous stability conditions for a vortex yields a detailed phase diagram in the critical velocity vs the system parameter. This facilitates vortex formation experiments for alkali-metal-atom gases confined in a harmonic potential. [S1050-2947(99)01410-9].
