Starting with the non-interacting problem, the homogeneous phase that is present in an untrapped system is replaced by a sinusoidal density variation in the limit of a very narrow annulus. In the case of an untrapped system there is another phase with a striped-like density distribution, and its counterpart is also found in the limit of a very narrow annulus. As the width of the annulus increases, this picture persists qualitatively. Depending on the relative strength between the inter- and the intra-components, interactions either favor the striped phase, or suppress it, in which case either a homogeneous, or a sinusoidal-like phase appears. Interactions also give rise to novel solutions with a nonzero circulation.en10.1088/1367-2630/18/1/015013info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesscold atomsartificial spin-orbit couplingatomtronicsSpin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein-condensed atoms confined in annular potentialsArticle18Q1WOS:000372365300002Q1
