| dc.description | We investigate Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped spin-1 atoms with ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic two-body contact interactions. We adopt the mean field theory and develop a Hartree-Fock-Popov type approximation in terms of a semiclassical two-fluid model. For antiferromagnetic interactions, our study reveals double condensations as atoms in the $|m_F=0>$ state never seem to condense under the constraints of both the conservation of total atom number $N$ and magnetization $M$. For ferromagnetic interactions, however, triple condensations can occur. Our results can be conveniently understood in terms of the interplay of three factors: (anti) ferromagnetic atom-atom interactions, $M$ conservation, and the miscibilities between and among different condensed components. | |
