Abstract:
We study a general model of isotropic two-dimensional spin-1 magnet, which is relevant for the physics of ultracold atoms with hyperfine S=1 spins in an optical lattice at odd filling. We demonstrate a novel mechanism of soliton pairing occurring in the vicinity of a special point with an enhanced SU(3) symmetry: upon perturbing the SU(3) symmetry, solitons with odd CP2 topological charge are confined into pairs that remain stable objects.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
