Density distributions for trapped one-dimensional spinor gases

We numerically evaluate the density distribution of a spin-1 bosonic condensate in its ground state within a modifed Gross-Pitaevskii theory, which is obtained by the combination of the exact solution of the corresponding integrable model with the local density approximation. Our study reveals that atoms in the m_F = 0 state are almost completely suppressed for the anti-ferromagnetic interactions in both weakly and strongly interacting regimes, whereas all three components remain non-vanishing for ferromagnetic interactions. Specially, when the system is in the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) regime, obvious Fermi-like distribution emerges for each component. We also discuss the possible deviation of the spatial distribution from the Fermi-like distribution when the spin-spin interaction is strong enough.
