Abstract
We present numerical results of a one-dimensional spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate expanding in a speckle disorder potential by employing the Gross–Pitaevskii equation. Localization properties of a spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate in zero-momentum phase, magnetic phase and stripe phase are studied. It is found that the localizing behavior in the zero-momentum phase is similar to the normal Bose–Einstein condensate. Moreover, in both magnetic phase and stripe phase, the localization length changes non-monotonically as the fitting interval increases. In magnetic phases, the Bose–Einstein condensate will experience spin relaxation in disorder potential.
