Abstract
We study two-dimensional quantum turbulence in miscible binary Bose-Einstein condensates in either a harmonic trap or a steep-wall trap through the numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The turbulence is generated through a Gaussian stirring potential. When the condensates have unequal intracomponent coupling strengths or asymmetric trap frequencies, the turbulent condensates undergo a dramatic decay dynamics to an interlaced array of vortex-antidark structures, a quasiequilibrium state, of like-signed vortices with an extended size of the vortex core. The time of formation of this state is shortened when the parameter asymmetry of the intracomponent couplings or the trap frequencies is enhanced. The corresponding spectrum of the incompressible kinetic energy exhibits two noteworthy features: (i) a ${k}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ power law around the range of the wave number determined by the spin healing length (the size of the extended vortex core) and (ii) a flat region around the range of the wave number determined by the density healing length. The latter is associated with the small scale phase fluctuation relegated outside the Thomas-Fermi radius and is more prominent as the strength of intercomponent interaction approaches the strength of intracomponent interaction. We also study the impact of the intercomponent interaction to the cluster formation of like-signed vortices in an elliptical steep-wall trap, finding that the intercomponent coupling gives rise to the decay of the clustered configuration.
