Domain walls are carriers of spin transport whose controlled manipulation underlies a wide range of spintronic and information-processing technologies. Here we demonstrate tunable domain-wall transport in a weakly interacting nondegenerate ultracold Bose gas. We initialize a three-domain pseudo-spin-1/2 texture and observe spontaneous propagation of long-lived domain walls driven by exchange-mediated spin currents. By varying the orientation of the spin domains, we control the balance of spin currents across the walls and thereby tune their trajectories, including reversals of the initial direction of motion. Measurements reveal a crossover from an exchange-stabilized regime, in which coherent spin-exchange collisions suppress wall motion, to a diffusion-dominated regime characterized by rapid transport at thermal velocities. Numerical solutions of a quantum Boltzmann equation reproduce the observed dynamics and identify transverse phase gradients as an important control parameter governing domain-wall propagation. These results establish coherence and phase engineering as tools for programming spin transport in ultracold gases and provide a route toward controllable domain-wall dynamics in atomtronic systems.
A domain-wall pump by an extended cluster model of
S=1/2 spins is proposed with local
U(1) gauge invariance. Its snapshot ground state is gapped and doubly degenerated due to
Z2 invariance, which is broken by an infinitesimal boundary magnetic field. The ground state associated with the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is still symmetry-protected with additional spatial inversion that is characterized by the
Z2 Berry phase. We investigate the topological domain-wall pump with/without boundaries. The topological pump associated with the inversion symmetry-breaking path induces a non-trivial Chern number of bulk and a singular behavior of edge states of the domain-wall. Generalization to the multi-spin interaction is also explicitly given.
