Half-vortex sheets and domain-wall trains of rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in spin-dependent optical lattices

Abstract

We investigate half-vortex sheets and domain-wall trains of rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in spin-dependent optical lattices. The two-component condensates undergo phase separation in the form of stripes arranged alternatively. The vortices of one component are aligned in lines in the low-density regions and filled with the other component, which results in a stable vortex configuration, straight half-vortex sheets. A train of novel domain walls, with spatially periodic "eyebrow-like" spin textures embedded on them, are formed at the interfaces of the two components. We reveal that these spatially periodic textures on the domain walls result from the linear gradient of the relative phase, which is induced by the alternating arrangement of the vortex sheets in the two components. An accurate manipulation of the textures can be realized by adjusting the intercomponent interaction strength, the rotating angular frequency and the period of the optical lattices.
