Title: | Half-skyrmion and vortex-antivortex pairs in spinor condensates | Authors: | Hu, Yu-Xin Miniatura, Christian Grémaud, Benoît |
Keywords: | Boson systems | Issue Date: | 2015 | Source: | Hu, Y.-X., Miniatura, C., & Grémaud, B. (2015). Half-skyrmion and vortex-antivortex pairs in spinor condensates. Physical Review A, 92, 033615-. | Series/Report no.: | Physical Review A | Abstract: | We propose a simple experimental scheme to generate spin textures in the ground state of interacting ultracold bosonic atoms loaded in a two-dimensional harmonic trap. Our scheme is based on two copropagating Laguerre-Gauss laser beams illuminating the atoms and coupling two of their internal ground state Zeeman sublevels. Using a Gross-Pitaevskii description, we show that the ground state of the atomic system has different topological properties depending on the interaction strength and the laser beam intensity. A half-skyrmion state develops at low interactions while a vortex-antivortex pair develops at large interactions. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/81094 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/39120 |
