QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITION IN SPIN-ORBIT COUPLED BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES IN OPTICAL LATTICES OF DIFFERENT GEOMETRIES

Mott insulator to superfluid phase transitions and unconventional superfluid phases in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in one dimensional, square and hexagonal optical lattices are investigated using decoupling approximation and variational Gutzwiller wave function. We considered a syste...
