We elaborate a mechanism for the formation of stable solitons of the semi-vortex type (with vorticities 0 and 1 in their two components), populating a finite bandgap in the spectrum of the spin-orbit-coupled binary Bose-Einstein condensate…
It is found that localized solitons in the strongly coupled cigar shaped Bose-Einstein condensate form two distinct classes. The one without a background is an asymptotically vanishing, localized soliton, having a wave-number, which has a…
