Recently there has been renewed interest in understanding vortex patterns in superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates, where the repulsive vortex-vortex interactions have an additional intermediate or long range attractive component. These states can arise in low-[kappa] materials and may occur in multi-band superconductors. A combination of repulsive and attractive pairwise interactions can also occur in certain types of Bose-Einstein condensates and in magnetic superconductors. We show that when the pairwise interaction includes a long range attractive term, the ground state consists of a single vortex cluster. In the presence of pinning there is a well defined transition to a fragmented state as a function of pinning strength and density. We also demonstrate that in systems with intermediate range attraction and long range repulsion, ordered stripe and bubble phases occur.
