Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates and Topological Defects

Mäkelä, Harri

This thesis concentrates on the topological defects of spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates, the ground states of spin-3 condensates, and the inert states of spinor condensates with arbitrary spin. Our work is based on the description of a spinor condensate of spin-S atoms in terms of a state vector of a spin-S particle.

The results of the homotopy theory are used to study the existence and structure of the topological defects in spinor condensates. We construct examples of defects, study their energetics, and examine how their stability is affected by the presence of an external magnetic field.

The ground states of spin-3 condensates are calculated using analytical and numerical means. Special emphasis is put on the ground states of a chromium condensate, whose dependence on the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction is studied.

A simple geometrical method for the calculation of inert states of spinor condensates is presented. This method is used to find candidates for the ground states of spin-S condensates.
