In a quantum system with spin, spin-orbit coupling is manifested by linking the spin angular momentum of a particle with its orbital angular momentum, which leads to many exotic phenomena. The experimental realization of synthetic spin-orbit coupling effects in ultra-cold atomic systems provides an entirely new platform for exploring quantum simulations. In a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate, the spin-orbit coupling can change the properties of the system significantly, which offers an excellent opportunity to investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the quantum state at the macroscopic level. As typical states of macroscopic quantum effects, solitons in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates can be manipulated by spin-orbit coupling directly, which makes the study on spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates become one of the hottest topics in the research of ultracold atomic physics in recent years. This paper investigates exact vector soliton solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the one-dimensional spin-orbit coupled binary Bose-Einstein condensates, which has four parameters
$\mu$ ,$\delta$ ,$\alpha$ and$\beta$ , where$\mu$ denotes the strength of the spin-orbit coupling,$\delta$ is the detuning parameter,$\alpha$ and$\beta$ are the parameters of the self- and cross-interaction, respectively. For the case$\beta=\alpha$ , by a direct ansatz, two kinds of stripe solitons, namely, the oscillating dark-dark solitons are obtained; meanwhile, a transformation is presented such that from the solutions of the integrable Manakov system, one can get soliton solutions for the spin-orbit coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For the case$\beta=3\alpha$ , a bright-W type soliton for$\alpha>0$ and a kink-antikink type soliton for$\alpha<0$ are presented. It is found that the relation between$\mu$ and$\delta$ can affect the states of the solitons. Based on these solutions, the corresponding dynamics and the impact of the spin-orbit coupling effects on the quantum magnetization and spin-polarized domains are discussed. Our results show that spin-orbit coupling can result in rich kinds of soliton states in the two-component Bose gases, including the stripe solitons as well as the classical non-stripe solitons, and various kinds of multi-solitons. Furthermore, spin-orbit coupling has a remarkable influence on the behaviors of quantum magnetization. In the experiments of Bose-Einstein condensates, there have been many different methods to observe the soliton states of the population distribution, the magnetic solitons, and the spin domains, so our results provide some possible options for the related experiments.-
