  • Title: Breaking of chiral symmetry and spontaneous rotation in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate.
    Author: Saito H, Kawaguchi Y, Ueda M.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2006 Feb 17; 96(6):065302. PubMed ID: 16606005.
    Abstract:
    We show that a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate with ferromagnetic interactions spontaneously generates a topological spin texture, in which the m = +/- 1 components of the magnetic sublevels form vortices with opposite circulations. This phenomenon originates from an interplay between ferromagnetic interactions and spin conservation.
