Tunable spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in deep optical lattices by Salerno, Mario, Abdullaev, Fatkhulla Kh., Gammal, A, Tomio, Lauro

“…In particular, we show that extremal curves (ground and highest excited states) of the linear spectrum are continuous piecewise functions (together with their derivatives) of α, which consist of a finite number of decreasing band lobes joined by constant lines. This structure also remains in the presence of inter- and intra-species interactions, the nonlinearity mainly introducing a number of localized states in the band gaps. …”
