Skyrmion Physics in Bose-Einstein Ferromagnets

arXiv:cond-mat/0107302 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.64.043612

Abstract

We show that a ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate has not only line-like vortex excitations, but in general also allows for point-like topological excitations, i.e., skyrmions. We discuss the thermodynamic stability and the dynamic properties of these skyrmions for both spin-1/2 and ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose gases.
