Abstract

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of linear wave scattering from magnetic domain walls with varied twist angles Θ\Theta in spin-1/21/2 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Using a gauge transformation, we show that scattering observables depend solely on the total twist Θ\Theta, independent of chirality. Within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) framework, we develop a transfer-matrix method to compute reflection and transmission coefficients for incident phonons and free particles. Our results reveal a scattering threshold at the Zeeman energy E=Ω0E = \hbar\Omega_0, separating a pure phonon regime from multi-channel scattering involving both collective and single-particle excitations above threshold. For large twist angles, competition between kinetic and Zeeman energies reduces the effective spin rotation, leading to comb-like density modulations and Fano-like resonances below threshold. The transition probability between phonon and particle channels is strongly tunable with Θ\Theta, enhanced for odd multiples of π\pi but suppressed for even multiples. These findings establish twist-engineered domain walls as a versatile platform for controlling quantum transport, with implications for atomtronic devices and quantum simulation.
