Spin waves in a one-dimensional spinor bose gas.

چکیده
We study a one-dimensional (iso)spin 1/2 Bose gas with repulsive delta-function interaction by the Bethe Ansatz method and discuss the excitations above the polarized ground state. In addition to phonons the system features spin waves with a quadratic dispersion. We compute analytically and numerically the effective mass of the spin wave and show that the spin transport is greatly suppressed in the strong coupling regime, where the isospin-density (or "spin charge") separation is maximal. Using a hydrodynamic approach, we study spin excitations in a harmonically trapped system and discuss prospects for future studies of two-component ultracold atomic gases.

Antiferromagnetic spatial ordering in a quenched one-dimensional spinor gas.
We have experimentally observed the emergence of spontaneous antiferromagnetic spatial order in a sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensate that was quenched through a magnetic phase transition. For negative values of the quadratic Zeeman shift, a gas initially prepared in the F=1, m(F)=0 state collapsed into a dynamically evolving superposition of all three spin projections, m(F)=0, ±1. The quenc...
متن کاملPeriodic spin textures in a degenerate F = 1 87 Rb spinor Bose gas
We report on the spin textures produced by cooling unmagnetized 87Rb F = 1 spinor gases into the regime of quantum degeneracy. At low temperatures, magnetized textures form that break translational symmetry and display short-range periodic magnetic order characterized by oneor two-dimensional spatial modulations with wavelengths much smaller than the extent of the quasi-two-dimensional degenera...
متن کاملNormal-superfluid interaction dynamics in a spinor bose gas.
Coherent behavior of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is studied in the presence of a significant uncondensed (normal) component. Normal-superfluid exchange scattering leads to near-perfect local alignment between the spin fields of the two components. We observe that, through this spin locking, spin-domain formation in the condensate is vastly accelerated as the spin populations in the condens...
متن کاملMulticomponent gap solitons in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
We model the nonlinear behavior of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates BECs with repulsive spinindependent interactions and either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic polar spin-dependent interactions, loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice potential. We show that both types of BECs exhibit dynamical instabilities and may form spatially localized multicomponent structures. The localized stat...
متن کاملModulational instability of spinor condensates
We demonstrate, analytically and numerically, that the ferromagnetic phase of the spinor Bose-Einstein condenstate may experience modulational instability of the ground state leading to a fragmentation of the spin domains. Together with other nonlinear effects in the atomic optics of ultra-cold gases (such as coherent photoassociation and four-wave mixing) this effect provides one more analogy ...
