Supersolids in the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We use a combination of numeric and analytic techniques to determine the groun d state phase diagram of the Bose--Hubbard Hamiltonian with longer range repulsi ve interactions. At half filling one finds superfluidity and an insulating solid phase. Depending on the relative sizes of near--neighbor and next near--neighbor interactions, this solid either follows a checkerboard or a striped pattern. In neither case is there a coexistence with superfluidity. However upon doping ``supersolid'' phases appear with simultaneous diagonal and off--diagonal long range order.
