We derive augmented quasiclassical equations of superconductivity with the Lorentz force in the Matsubara formalism so that the charge redistribution due to supercurrent can be calculated quantitatively. Using it, we obtain an analytic expression for the vortex-core charge of an isolated vortex in extreme type-II materials given in terms of the London penetration depth and the equilibrium Hall coefficient. It depends strongly on the Fermi surface curvature and gap anisotropy, and may change sign even as a function of temperature due to the variation in the excitation curvature under the growing energy gap. This is also confirmed in our numerical study of high-T c superconductors.

We study vortex charging caused by the Lorentz force on supercurrent based on the augmented quasiclassical equa- tions of superconductivity. Our numerical study on an s-wave vortex lattice in the range $H_{{\rm{c}}1} < H < H_{{\rm{c}}2}$ reveals that each vortex core with a single flux quantum also accumulates charge due to the circulating supercurrent and has a Hall voltage across the core. The field dependence of the charge density at the core center is well described by $H(H_{{\rm{c}}2}-H)$ with a peak near $H_{{\rm{c}}2}/2$ originating from competition between the increasing magnetic field and the decreasing pair potential. The peak value of the accumulated charge in a core region of radius $0.5\xi_0$ is estimated to be about $\eta\Delta_{0}/(k_{\rm F}\xi_0)\times|e|$ C per $\Delta z=1$ nm along the flux line at low temperatures, where $\eta\equiv\pi\epsilon_0\Delta z/|e|^2=1.09\times10^{18}$ ${\rm{J^{-1}}}$ with $e<0$ the charge of an electron, $\Delta_0$ the energy gap at $T=0$, $k_{\rm F}$ the Fermi wave number, and $\xi_0$ the coherence length at $T=0$.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

On the basis of the augmented quasiclassical theory of superconductivity with the Lorentz force, we study the magnetic field dependence of the charge distribution due to the Lorentz force in a d-wave vortex lattice with anisotropic Fermi surfaces. Owing to the competition between the energy-gap and Fermi surface anisotropies, the charge profile in the vortex lattice changes dramatically with increasing magnetic field because of the overlaps of each nearest vortex-core charge. In addition, the accumulated charge in the core region may reverse its sign as a function of magnetic field. This strong field dependence of the vortex-core charge cannot be observed in the model with an isotropic Fermi surface.

We construct a variational wave function for inhomogeneous weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field approximation by incorporating 3/2-body correlations. From our numerical results calculated for a system trapped by a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the 3/2-body correlations give a contribution comparable to the meanfield energy toward lowering the ground-state energy.

We construct a variational ground-state wave function of weakly interacting M-component Bose-Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field theory by incorporating the dynamical 3/2-body processes, where one of the two colliding particles drops into the condensate and vice versa. Our numerical results with various masses and particle numbers show that the 3/2-body processes between different particles make finite contributions to lowering the ground-state energy, implying that many-body correlation effects between different particles are essential even in the weak-coupling regime of the Bose-Einstein condensates. We also consider the stability condition for 2-component miscible states using the new ground-state wave function. Through this calculation, we obtain the relation U
