Abstract

Abstract We consider an effective two-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate with some spin–orbit coupling (SOC) and a rotation term in an external harmonic potential. We find the striped state, and analyze the effects of SOC, the external potential, and the rotation frequency/direction on the profile and the stability of the striped state. Without the rotation term, the two spinor components exhibit striped pattern, and the numbers of stripes in the two components are always an odd–even or an even–odd. With the increase of the SOC strength, the number of stripes in both components increases, while the difference of the striped numbers is always one. After adding the rotation term, the profiles of the spinor components change qualitatively, and the change regulation of the striped numbers differs, while the difference of the striped numbers is still one. In addition, we find that the rotation direction only makes the striped state of the two spinor components exchange each other, though the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation directions are inequivalent with the presence of SOC. Such regulation is different from the previous study. And the rotation frequency gives rise to the transition from the striped state to a mixture of the striped state and vortex state. Furthermore, we prove the stability of these states by the evolution and linear stability analysis.

Stable stripe and vortex solitons in two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensates

Yuan Guo, Muhammad Idrees, Ji Lin +1 more

Abstract We present a flexible manipulation and control of solitons via Bose–Einstein condensates. In the presence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling and repulsive interactions within a harmonic potential, our investigation reveals the numerical local solutions within the system. By manipulating the strength of repulsive interactions and adjusting spin–orbit coupling while maintaining a zero-frequency rotation, diverse soliton structures emerge within the system. These include plane-wave solitons, two distinct types of stripe solitons, and odd petal solitons with both single and double layers. The stability of these solitons is intricately dependent on the varying strength of spin–orbit coupling. Specifically, stripe solitons can maintain a stable existence within regions characterized by enhanced spin–orbit coupling while petal solitons are unable to sustain a stable existence under similar conditions. When rotational frequency is introduced to the system, solitons undergo a transition from stripe solitons to a vortex array characterized by a sustained rotation. The rotational directions of clockwise and counterclockwise are non-equivalent owing to spin–orbit coupling. As a result, the properties of vortex solitons exhibit significant variation and are capable of maintaining a stable existence in the presence of repulsive interactions.

Effect of Anisotropic Spin-Orbit Coupling on the Ground State of Bose–Einstein Condensate in an External Potential*

Wan-Quan He, Ri-Li 日丽 Gao 高, Pei 培 Zhang 张 +3 more

Abstract Spin-orbit coupled Bosonic atoms confined in external potentials open up new avenues for quantum-state manipulation and will contribute to the design and exploration of novel quantum devices. Here we consider a quasi-two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate confined in an external harmonic potential, with emphasis on the effects of anisotropic spin-orbit coupling on the equilibrium ground-state structure of such a system. For the cases with spin-orbit coupling solely in x- or y-axis direction, the ground-state structure can develop to the well-known standing wave phase, in which the two components always form an alternative density arrangement. For a two-dimensional anisotropic spin-orbit coupling, the separated lumps first become bend, then form two rows of stripe structure along y direction with further increasing the strength of spin-orbit coupling in x-direction. Furthermore, the distance between these two rows of stripe structure is also investigated in detail.

Ground-state phases of a rotating spin-orbit–coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice

Ji-Guo Wang, Liang-Liang Xu, Shi-Jie Yang

We study the ground-state phases of a two-dimensional rotating spin-orbit–coupled Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in a one-dimensional spin-dependent optical lattice. In the absence of rotation, the system undergoes a phase transition from the stripe phase to the supersolid phase gradually for weak spin-orbit coupling strength and directly for strong spin-orbit coupling strength as the depth of the optical lattice increases. With increasing the rotation strength, the stripe phase transforms to the ringlike state, and the domain number of the ringlike state increases when the Bose-Einstein condensate is in the weak depth of the optical lattice. The supersolid phase transforms to the phase with a single domain of a vortex line for small rotation strength, and alternating vortex lines along the x -direction appear for large rotation strength when the Bose-Einstein condensate is in the strong depth of the optical lattice. The spin textures of the ground-state phases are also discussed.

Ground-state phases of the spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose gas in a toroidal trap

Ji-Guo Wang, Liang-Liang Xu, Shi-Jie Yang

We consider the spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with the isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a two-dimensional toroidal trap. Three types of striped phases are found in a nonrotational system, i.e., the stripe phase with the periodic density modulation along the azimuthal direction, the stripe phase with the periodic density modulation along both the azimuthal and the radial directions, and the stripe phase with the periodic density modulation along the radial direction. By adding the rotation, the condensates occupy the ${m}_{F}=0$ component for small rotational frequency, while they occupy both the ${m}_{F}=1$ and ${m}_{F}=\ensuremath{-}1$ components for large rotational frequency when both the relative interaction and the spin-orbit coupling are weak. For the stronger relative interaction and spin-orbit coupling, the vortices of the system are elongated along the radial direction and linked one after another. As the rotational frequency further increases, the density evolves from the elongated effect of the vortices into a laminar vortex ring.

Vortex states and spin textures of rotating spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates in a toroidal trap

Huan Wang, Linghua Wen, Hui Yang +2 more

Abstract We consider the ground-state properties of Rashba spin–orbit-coupled pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in a rotating two-dimensional (2D) toroidal trap. In the absence of spin–orbit coupling (SOC), the increasing rotation frequency enhances the creation of giant vortices for the initially miscible BECs, while it can lead to the formation of semiring density patterns with irregular hidden vortex structures for the initially immiscible BECs. Without rotation, strong 2D isotropic SOC yields a heliciform-stripe phase for the initially immiscible BECs. Combined effects of rotation, SOC, and interatomic interactions on the vortex structures and typical spin textures of the ground state of the system are discussed systematically. In particular, for a fixed rotation frequency above the critical value, the increasing isotropic SOC favors a visible vortex necklace in each component which is accompanied by a hidden giant vortex plus a (several) hidden vortex necklace(s) in the central region. In the case of one-dimensional anisotropic SOC, large SOC strength results in the generation of hidden linear vortex string and the transition from initial component separation (component mixing) to component mixing (component separation). Furthermore, the peculiar spin textures including skyrmion lattice, skyrmion pair and skyrmion string are revealed in this system.
