Spatiotemporal Bloch states of a spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice

Spatial distributions of the atomic number density and potential function for (a) V0=0.8 obeying V0<Vc and (b) V0=1.57839 corresponding to V0=Vc. The atomic number density exhibits different periodic distributions without zero point in (a) and with zero points in (b). Both figures show that every peak of the number densities aligns to a potential well.
