Analysis of Bose system in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Fermi mixture to induce a spin current of fermions

摘要

We found that a spin current of fermions could be induced in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Fermi mixture at zero temperature. Since spatial change of the spin structure of the bosons is necessary to induce the spin current of the fermions, we analyzed the ground state of the bosons in the mixture system, using a variational method. The obtained phase diagram indicated the presence of a bosonic phase that allowed the fermions to have a spin current.
