Abstract

We analyze the ground state of a system of dipolar bosons moving in the XYXY plane and such that their dipolar moments are all aligned in a fixed direction in space. We focus on the general case where the polarization field forms a generic angle α\alpha with respect to the ZZ axis. We use the Path Integral Ground State method to analyze the static properties of the system as both α\alpha and the density nn vary over a wide range were the system is stable. We use the maximum of the static structure function as an order parameter to characterize the different phases and the transition lines among them. We find that aside of a superfluid gas and a solid phase, the system reaches a stripe phase at large tilting angles that is entirely induced by the anisotropic character of the interaction. We also show that the quantum phase transition from the gas to the stripe phase is of second order, and report approximate values for the critical exponents.
