Asymptotic Bethe-ansatz solution for one-dimensional SU(2) spinor bosons with finite-range Gaussian interactions

Abstract

We propose a one-dimensional model of spinor bosons with SU(2) symmetry and a two-body finite-range Gaussian interaction potential. We show that the model is exactly solvable when the width of the interaction potential is much smaller than the interparticle separation. This model is then solved via the asymptotic Bethe-ansatz technique. The ferromagnetic ground-state energy and chemical potential are derived analytically. We also investigate the effects of a finite-range potential on the density profiles through the local-density approximation. Finite-range potentials are more likely to lead to quasi-Bose-Einstein condensation than zero-range potentials.
