Phase transitions in dipolar spin-1 Bose gases

Abstract

We study phase transitions in homogeneous spin-1 Bose gases in the presence of long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions (DDI). We concentrate on three-dimensional geometries and employ momentum shell renormalization group to study the possible instabilities caused by the dipole-dipole interaction. At the zero-temperature limit where quantum fluctuations prevail, we find the phase diagram to be unaffected by the dipole-dipole interaction. When the thermal fluctuations dominate, polar and ferromagnetic condensates with DDI become unstable and we discuss this crossover in detail. On the other hand, the spin-singlet condensate remains stable in the presence of dipole-dipole interactions.
