Thermodynamic stability of a spin microemulsion in Rashba spin-orbit-coupled bosons
Recently, a ``spin'' quantum microemulsion analogue was revealed in numerical simulations of spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates; however, an experimental realization remains to be seen. Here, the authors provide a computational investigation of the microemulsion's thermodynamic stability in conditions previously unexplored, including a realistic ${}^{87}$Rb experiment. Their simulations reveal a much wider set of conditions where a spin microemulsion can exist.
