Phys. Rev. A 63, 023605 (2001) [6 pages]Vortex states in a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensatesReceived 12 July 2000; revised 8 September 2000; published 11 January 2001 The vortex configurations in the Bose-Einstein condensate of a mixture of two different spin states |F=1,mf=-1〉 and |2,1〉 of 87Rb atoms corresponding to the recent experiments by Matthews et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2498 (1999)] are considered in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi approximation as functions of N2/N1, where N1 is the number of atoms in the state |1,-1〉 and N2 in the state |2,1〉. Ranges of this ratio are determined within which the various configurations of the binary condensate are stable. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
