We consider coupled spin and heat transport in a two-component, atomic Bose gas in the noncon- densed state. We find that the transport coefficients show a temperature dependence reflecting the bosonic enhancement of scattering, and discuss experimental signatures of the spin-heat coupling in spin accumulation and total dissipation. Inside the critical region of Bose-Einstein condensation, we find anomalous behavior of the transport coefficients, and in particular, an enhancement for the spin caloritronics figure of merit that determines the thermodynamic efficiency of spin-heat conversion.

Phases of matter are conventionally characterized by order parameters describing the type and degree of order in a system. For example, crystals consist of spatially ordered arrays of atoms, an order that is lost as the crystal melts. Like- wise in f erromagnets, the magnetic moments of the constituent particles align only below the Curie temperature, TC. These two examples reflect two classes of phase transitions: the melting of a crystal is a first-order phase transition (the crystalline order vanishes abruptly) and the onset of magnetism is a second- order phase transition (the magnetization increases continuously from zero as the temperature falls below TC). Such magnetism is robust in systems with localized magnetic particles, and yet rare in model itinerant systems where the particles are free to move about. Here for the first time, we explore the itinerant magnetic phases present in a spin-1 spin-orbit coupled atomic Bose gas; in this system, itinerant ferromagnetic order is stabilized by the spin-orbit coupling, vanishing in its absence. We first located a second-order phase transition that continuously stiffens until, at a tricritical point, it transforms into a first- order transition (with observed width as small as h x 4 Hz). We then studied the long-lived metastable states associated with the first-order transition. These measurements are all in agreement with theory.

We study beyond-mean-field properties of interacting spin-1 Bose gases with synthetic Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling at low energies. We derive a many-body Hamiltonian following a tight-binding approximation in quasi-momentum space, where the effective spin dependence of the collisions that emerges from spin-orbit coupling leads to dominant correlated tunneling processes that couple the different bound states. We discuss the properties of the spectrum of the derived Hamiltonian and its experimental signatures. In a certain region of the parameter space, the system becomes integrable, and its dynamics becomes analogous to that of a spin-1 condensate with spin-dependent collisions. Remarkably, we find that such dynamics can be observed in existing experimental setups through quench experiments that are robust against magnetic fluctuations.
We consider a one-dimensional trapped spin-1 Bose gas and numerically explore families of its solitonic solutions, namely antidark-dark-antidark (ADDAD), as well as dark-antidark-dark (DADD) solitary waves. Their existence and stability properties ar e systematically investigated within the experimentally accessible easy-plane ferromagnetic phase by means of a continuation over the atom number as well as the quadratic Zeeman energy. It is found that ADDADs are substantially more dynamically robust than DADDs. The latter are typically unstable within the examined parameter range. The dynamical evolution of both of these states is explored and the implication of their potential unstable evolution is studied. Some of the relevant observed possibilities involve, e.g., symmetry-breaking instability manifestations for the ADDAD, as well as splitting of the DADD into a right- and a left-moving dark-antidark pair with the anti-darks residing in a different component as compared to prior to the splitting. In the latter case, the structures are seen to disperse upon long-time propagation.
Spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (SOBECs) exhibit two new phases of matter, now known as the stripe and plane-wave phases. When two interacting spin components of a SOBEC spatially overlap, density modulations with periodicity given by th e spin-orbit coupling strength appear. In equilibrium, these components fully overlap in the miscible stripe phase, and overlap only in a domain wall in the immiscible plane-wave phase. Here we probe the density modulation present in any overlapping region with optical Bragg scattering, and observe the sudden drop of Bragg scattering as the overlapping region shrinks. Using an atomic analogue of the Talbot effect, we demonstrate the existence of long-range coherence between the different spin components in the stripe phase and surprisingly even in the phase-separated plane-wave phase.
We show that double-quantum spin vortices, which are characterized by doubly quantized circulating spin currents and unmagnetized filled cores, can exist in the ground states of SU(3) spin-orbit coupled Bose gases. It is found that the SU(3) spin-orb it coupling and spin-exchange interaction play important roles in determining the ground-state phase diagram. In the case of effective ferromagnetic spin interaction, the SU(3) spin-orbit coupling induces a three-fold degeneracy to the magnetized ground state, while in the antiferromagnetic spin interaction case, the SU(3) spin-orbit coupling breaks the ordinary phase rule of spinor Bose gases, and allows the spontaneous emergence of double-quantum spin vortices. This exotic topological defect is in stark contrast to the singly quantized spin vortices observed in existing experiments, and can be readily observed by the current magnetization-sensitive phase-contrast imaging technique.
