Abstract

We report on the controlled creation of multiple soliton complexes of the dark-bright type in one-dimensional two-component, three-component, and spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The formation of solitonic entities of the dark-bright type is based on the so-called matter-wave interference of spatially separated condensates. In all three cases, a systematic numerical study is carried out upon considering different variations of each system's parameters both in the absence and in the presence of a harmonic trap. It is found that manipulating the initial separation or the chemical potential of the participating components allows us to tailor the number of nucleated dark-bright states. Particularly, the number of solitons generated increases upon increasing either the initial separation or the chemical potential of the participating components. Similarities and differences of the distinct models considered herein are showcased, while the robustness of the emerging states is illustrated via direct numerical integration, demonstrating their long time propagation. Importantly, for the spinorial system, we unravel the existence of beating dark soliton arrays that are formed due to the spin-mixing dynamics. These states persist in the presence of a parabolic trap, often relevant for associated experimental realizations.
