On Magnetic Properties of Ultra-Cold Atomic Spinor Gases in Optical Lattice

Abstract

Ultra-cold atomic spinor gases in optical lattices create a new perspective in the study of magnetic systems as it opens the possibility to engineer magnetic states with precision unknown in solid state physics.

I will discuss theoretical predictions for low temperature quantum phases for F=2 spinor gases in the Mott-insulating regime with one and two atoms per site and the possibilities of manipulating their magnetic properties using Feshbach resonances.
