Abstract

Magnetic monopoles and kinks are topological excitations extensively investigated in quantum spin systems, but usually they are studied in different setups. We explore the conditions for the coexistence and the interaction effects of these quasiparticles in the pseudospin chain of the atomic dipolar superlattice gas. In this chain, the magnetic kink is the intrinsic quasiparticle, and the particle/hole defect takes over the role of the north/south magnetic monopole, exerting monopolar magnetic fields to neighboring spins. A confinement effect between the monopole and kink is revealed, which renormalizes the dispersion of the kink. The corresponding dynamical deconfinement process is observed and arises due to the kink-antikink annihilation. The rich interaction effects of the two quasiparticles could stimulate corresponding investigations in bulk spin systems.
