Cooling into the spin-nematic state for a spin-1 Bose gas in an optical lattice — •Ming-Chiang Chung — National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Hsinchu, Taiwan

The possibility of adiabatically cooling a spin-1 polar Bose gas to a spin-nematic phase is theoretically discussed. The relation between the order parameter of the final spin-nematic phase and the starting temperature of the spinor Bose gas is obtained both using the mean-field approach for high temperature and spin-wave approach for low temperature. We find that there exists a good possibility to reach the spin-nematic ordering starting with spinor antiferromagnetic Bose gases.
