Periodic spin domains of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice (Q2368899): Difference between revisions

The low-lying periodic spin domains of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional optical lattice are examined in this article. The main results concern the dynamical stability of the spin domains and the fact that they are controllable by adjusting the magnetic and light-induced dipole-dipole interactions. The latter is realisable in an optical lattice created by red-detuned laser beams with modulating intensity. The paper concludes with the study of the constant phase configuration, which is proved to be dynamically unstable.
