Abstract
We present a simple scheme for generating topological phase states such as dark soliton and vortex states of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate using a pplied magnetic fields. The realization of complex composite spinor vortice s is described and we examine the subsequent dynamical evolution of these s tates.
