Title
Noise-induced transition from superfluid to vortex state in two-dimensional nonequilibrium polariton condensates : semianalytical treatment
Author
Abstract
We develop a semianalytical description for the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like phase transition in nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates. Our theoretical analysis is based on a noisy generalized GrossPitaevskii equation. Above a critical strength of the noise, spontaneous vortex-antivortex pairs are generated. We provide a semianalytical determination of the transition point based on a linearized Bogoliubov analysis, to which some nonlinear corrections are added. We present two different approaches that are in agreement with our numerical calculations in a wide range of system parameters. We find that for small losses and not too small energy relaxation the critical point approaches that of the equilibrium Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Furthermore, we find that losses tend to stabilize the ordered phase: keeping the other parameters constant and increasing the losses leads to a higher critical noise strength for the spontaneous generation of vortex-antivortex pairs. Our theoretical analysis is relevant for experiments on microcavity polaritons.
