Vortices in a Rotating Spin-Orbit-Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate under Extreme Elongation in a Harmonic Plus Quartic Trap

We consider the ground-state properties of a rotating spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate under extreme elongation in a harmonic plus quartic potential. The effects of spin-orbit coupling and rotation on the ground-state vortex structures are investigated. In the absence of spin-orbit coupling, new nucleated vortices gradually form vortex lines and annular vortex structures with the increase of the rotation frequency. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling, part of the vortices arrange in a line and form a stable vortex chain, and the remanent vortices coexist in pairs aside such vortex chain. More specially, the remanent vortices of each component repel each other and form vortex pair for isotropic spin-orbit coupling, while attract each other and locate in the same positions for anisotropic spin-orbit coupling.     

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

Spin-orbit coupled Bosonic atoms confined in external potentials open up new avenues for quantumstate 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.     

Tunable ground-state solitons in spin–orbit coupling Bose–Einstein condensates in the presence of optical lattices

Properties of the ground-state solitons, which exist in the spin–orbit coupling(SOC) Bose–Einstein condensates(BEC) in the presence of optical lattices, are presented. Results show that several system parameters, such as SOC strength,lattice depth, and lattice frequency, have important influences on properties of ground state solitons in SOC BEC. By controlling these parameters, structure and spin polarization of the ground-state solitons can be effectively tuned, so manipulation of atoms may be realized.     

Topological superfluid in a two-dimensional polarized Fermi gas with spin-orbit coupling and adiabatic rotation

We study the properties of superfluid in a two-dimensional(2 D) polarized Fermi gas with spin–orbit coupling and adiabatic rotation which are trapped in a harmonic potential. Due to the competition between polarization, spin–orbit coupling, and adiabatic rotation, the Fermi gas exhibits many intriguing phenomena. By using the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer(BCS) mean-field method with local density approximation, we investigate the dependence of order parameter solution on the spin–orbit coupling strength and the rotation velocity. The energy spectra with different rotation velocities are studied in detail. Besides, the conditions for the zero-energy Majorana fermions in topological superfluid phase to be observed are obtained. By investigating distributions of number density, we find that the rotation has opposite effect on the distribution of number density with different spins, which leads to the enhancement of the polarization of Fermi gas. Here,we focus on the region of BCS pairing and ignore the Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov state.

Quantum dots with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

We present results on the effects of spin-orbit coupling on the electronic structure of few-electron interacting quantum dots. The ground-state properties as a function of the number of electrons in the dot N are calculated by means of spin-density functional theory. We find a suppression of Hund's rule due to the competition of the Rashba effect and exchange interaction. Introducing an in-plane Zeeman field leads to a paramagnetic behavior of the dot in a closed-shell configuration and to spin texture in space.     

Spinor F=1 Bose–Einstein condensates loaded in two types of radially-periodic potentials with spin–orbit coupling

We consider two-dimensional spinor F = 1 Bose–Einstein condensates in two types of radially-periodic potentials with spin–orbit coupling, i.e., spin-independent and spin-dependent radially-periodic potentials. For the Bose–Einstein condensates in a spin-independent radially-periodic potential, the density of each component exhibits the periodic density modulation along the azimuthal direction, which realizes the necklacelike state in the ferromagnetic Bose–Einstein condensates. As the spin-exchange interaction increases, the necklacelike state gradually transition to the plane wave phase for the antiferromagnetic Bose–Einstein condensates with larger spin–orbit coupling. The competition of the spin-dependent radially-periodic potential, spin–orbit coupling, and spin-exchange interaction gives rise to the exotic ground-state phases when the Bose–Einstein condensates in a spin-dependent radially-periodic potential.     

Superconducting instability of a non-centrosymmetric system

The Fermi gas approach to the weak-coupling superconductivity in the non-centrosymmetric systems lead to a conclusion of an approximately spin-orbit coupling independent critical temperature of the singlet states as well as the triplet states defined by the order parameter aligned with the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling vector. We indicate that the above results follow from a simplified approximation of a density of states by a constant Fermi surface value. Such a scenario does not properly account for the spin-split quasiparticle energy spectrum and reduces the spin-orbit coupling influence on superconductivity to the bare pair-breaking effect of a lifted spin degeneracy. Applying the tight-binding model, which captures the primary features of the spin-split energy band, i.e., its enhanced width and the spin-orbit coupling induced redistribution of the spectral weights in the density of states, we calculate the critical temperature of a non-centrosymmetric superconductor. We report a general tendency of the critical temperature to be suppressed by the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling. We indicate that, the monotonic decrease of the critical temperature may be altered by the spin-orbit coupling induced van Hove singularities which, when driven to the Fermi level, generate maxima in the phase diagram. Extending our considerations to the intermediate-coupling superconductivity we point out that the spin-orbit coupling induced change of the critical temperature depends on the structure of the electronic energy band and both – the strength and symmetry of the pair potential. Finally, we discuss the mixed singlet-triplet state superconducting instability and establish conditions concerning the symmetry of the singlet and triplet counterparts as well as the range of the spin-orbit coupling energy which make such a phase transition possible.     

Density structures and giant vortex in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with the harmonic-plus-radial potential

We study the ground-state properties of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) loaded in the harmonic-plus-radial potential. In the immiscible regime, odd-petal-number states can be found. By increasing the effective atom interactions, the odd-petal-number states transform into a phase where petals in the outer annular potential trough are coexisting with inner longitudinal stripes, and finally become the ‘serpentine’ stripe structures. In a rotating system, the giant vortex (GV) can be stabilized and controllable. The favorable conditions for GV are relatively small atom interactions, intermediate rotation frequency and intermediate SOC strength. Further, this type of harmonic-plus-radial trapping with a strong radial part is a suitable choice to create GV state.
