旋转环形势阱中两分量自旋-轨道耦合BEC的基态结构

Ground State Structure of Two-Component Spin-Orbit Coupled BEC in a Rotating Annular Trap

  • 摘要: 通过托马斯-费米近似和虚时演化方法系统地研究了旋转环形势阱中相混合两分量自旋-轨道耦合玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体的基态结构和自旋纹理。旋转可使凝聚体从平面波相的圆盘转换为涡旋密度峰耦合的skyrmion相,或平面波相的圆环转化为环形对称分布的skyrmion链相。调节势阱宽度,不仅可以改变Skyrmion的数量,而且可以调控skyrmion排列的对称性。调节自旋轨道耦合强度,基态密度分布可以从环形对称分布的skyrmion链相过渡到互相垂直的skyrmion链环相。

     

    Abstract: We systematically investigate the ground state structure and spin texture of a component-mixed two-component spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating annular potential trap, using the Thomas-Fermi approximation and imaginary-time evolution method. Rotation induces transitions in the condensate, where the disk of the plane-wave phase transforms into a vortex-density-peak-coupled skyrmion phase, and the annulus-shaped plane wave transforms into a skyrmion chain phase with circular distribution. Adjusting the trap width not only changes the number of skyrmion in the system, but also controls the symmetry of their arrangement. By tuning the spin-orbit coupling strength, the ground-state density distribution can transition from the skyrmion chain phase with circular distribution to the skyrmion chain phase with mutually perpendicular chains in a circular region.
