We study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition of two-component Bose mixtures in two spatial dimensions. When phases of both components are decoupled, half-quantized vortex-antivortex pairs of each component induce two-step BKT transitions. On the other hand, when phases of both components are synchronized through the intercomponent Josephson coupling, two species of vortices of each component are bound to form a molecule, and, in this case, we find that there is only one BKT transition by molecule-antimolecule pairs. Our results can be tested by two weakly connected Bose systems such as two-component ultracold diluted Bose mixtures with the Rabi oscillation, and multiband superconductors.
我们研究了二维双分量玻色混合物中的 Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless(BKT)相变。当两个分量的相位解耦时,每个分量的半量子涡旋-反涡旋对诱导了两步 BKT 相变。另一方面,当两个分量的相位通过分量间的约瑟夫森耦合同步时,每个分量的两种涡旋会束缚形成分子,在这种情况下,我们发现只有通过分子-反分子对才有一个 BKT 相变。我们的结果可以通过两个弱连接的玻色系统来验证,例如具有拉比振荡的双分量超冷稀释玻色混合物和多能带超导体。
