Effects of an attractive three body interaction on a spin-1 Bose Hubbard model
Abstract
We study the effects of an attractive three body interaction potential on a spin-1 ultracold Bose gas using mean field approach (MFA). For an antiferromagnetic (AF) interaction, the third MI lobe is predominantly affected, where it completely engulfs the second and the fourth MI lobes at large values of the interaction strength. Albeit no significant change is observed beyond the fourth MI lobe. The formation of the spin singlet (nematic) MI phase and the different order of phase transitions to the SF phase have been carefully scrutinized with the help of spin eigenvalues and spin nematic order parameter. In the ferromagnetic case, the phase diagram shows similar features as that of a scalar Bose gas. We have compared our results on the MFA phase diagrams for both types of the interaction potential via a perturbation expansion in both the cases.
