- Abstract summary: In systems of two pseudo-spin degrees, two particles configure symmetric states and anti-symmetric states, but the spin symmetry can be mixed for more particles.
We study the role of mixed spin symmetry in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and consider the system of three bosons with two hyper-fine states trapped in a harmonic potential.

- Abstract: Synthetically spin-orbit coupling in cold atoms couples the pseudo-spin and
spatial degrees of freedom, and therefore the inherent spin symmetry of the
system plays an important role. In systems of two pseudo-spin degrees, two
particles configure symmetric states and anti-symmetric states, but the spin
symmetry can be mixed for more particles. We study the role of mixed spin
symmetry in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and consider the system of
three bosons with two hyper-fine states trapped in a harmonic potential. We
investigate the ground state and the energy spectrum by implementing exact
diagonalization. It is found that the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and
repulsive interactions between anti-aligned pseudo-spins increases the
population of the unaligned spin components in the ground state. The emergence
of the mixed spin symmetric states compensates for the rise of the interaction
energy. With the aligned interaction on, the avoided crossing between the
ground state and the first excited state is observed only for small
interaction, and this causes shape changes in the spin populations.
Furthermore, we find that the pair correlation of the ground state shows
similarly to that of Tonks-Girardeau gas even for relatively small contact
interactions and such strong interaction feature is enhanced by the spin-orbit
coupling.

This article demonstrates that the hyperfine coupling, which consists of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions, can mediate the application of spin-orbit torques acting on nuclear spins.
The reactions to the equilibrium and nonequilibrium components of the spin density is a torque on the nucleus with field-like and damping-like components.
This nuclear spin-orbit torque is a step toward stabilizing and controlling nuclear magnetic momenta, in magnitude and direction, and realizing nuclear spintronics.

We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes.
The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments.
The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
