Abstract
We examine the multistability associated with miscibility-immiscibility conditions for a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to the light field in an optical cavity. For a strongly immiscible condition, the system exhibits a variety of density structures, including a separated state, a stripe state, and their coexistence. The multistability arises from these spatial structures of the two-component condensate, which significantly alter the hysteresis curve with respect to the intensity of cavity pumping. We present a variational approach to confirm our numerical results.
