A paper titled "Magnetic and nematic phases in a Weyl type spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose gas" written by Guanjun Chen, Li Chen and Yunbo Zhang⁺ is about to be published in New Journal of Physics magazine. The on-line version is available on arXiv:1512.06394.

Abstract: We present a variational study of the spin-1 Bose gases in a harmonic trap with three-dimensional spin-orbit coupling of Weyl type. For weak spin-orbit coupling, we treat the single-particle ground states as the form of perturbational harmonic oscillator states in the lowest total angular momentum manifold with j = 1,mj = -1, 0,1. When the two-body interaction is considered, we set the trail order parameter as the superposition of three degenerate single-particle ground-states and the weight coefficients are determined by minimizing the energy functional. Two ground state phases, namely the magnetic and the nematic phases, are identified depending on the spin-independent and the spin-dependent interactions. Unlike the non-spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate for which the phase boundary between the magnetic and the nematic phase lies exactly at zero spindependent interaction, the boundary is modified by the spin-orbit-coupling. We find the magnetic phase is featured with phase-separated density distributions, 3D skyrmion-like spin textures and competing magnetic and biaxial nematic orders, while the nematic phase is featured with miscible density distributions, zero magnetization and spatially modulated uniaxial nematic order. The emergence of higher spin order creates new opportunities for exploring spin-tensor-related physics in spin-orbit coupled superfluid.
