Phase characterization of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates: a Majorana stellar representation approach
arXiv:2211.16428 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2023.129188
Abstract
We study the variational perturbations for the mean-field solution of an interacting spinor system with underlying rotational symmetries. An approach based upon the Majorana stellar representation for mixed states and group theory is introduced to this end. The method reduces significantly the unknown degrees of freedom of the perturbation, allowing us a simplified and direct exploration on emergent physical phenomena. We apply it to characterize the phases of a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate and to study the behavior of these phases with entropy. The spin-2 phase diagram was also investigated within the Hartree-Fock approximation, where a non-linear deviation of the cyclic-nematic phase boundary with temperature is predicted.
