Description

Magnetic solitons in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice are studied by the Holstein-Primakoff transformation method. It is shown that due to the long-range light-induced and static magnetic dipole-dipole interactions, there exist different types of magnetic solitary excitations in different parameter regions. Compared to conventional solid-state materials, the parameters of this type of magnetic solitons in an optical lattice can be easily tuned by the above dipole-dipole interactions, which are highly controllable in experiments
