Supersolid-like solitons in a spin-orbit-coupled spin-2 condensate
Supersolid-like solitons in a spin-orbit-coupled spin-2 condensate
We study supersolid-like crystalline structures emerging in the stationary states of a quasi-two-dimensional spin-orbit (SO)-coupled spin-2 condensate in the ferromagnetic, cyclic, and antiferromagnetic phases by solving a mean-field model. Interplay of different strengths of SO coupling and interatomic interactions gives rise to a variety of nontrivial density patterns in the …
