Doublon-Holon Binding Effects on Mott Transitions in Two-Dimensional Bose Hubbard Model
arXiv:0708.2765 · doi:10.1016/j.jpcs.2008.06.087
Abstract
A mechanism of Mott transitions in a Bose Hubbard model on a square lattice is studied, using a variational Monte Carlo method. Besides an onsite correlation factor, we introduce a four-body doublon-holon factor into the trial state, which considerably improves the variational energy and can appropriately describe a superfluid-insulator transition. Its essense consists in binding (and unbinding) of a doublon to a holon in a finite short range, identical with the cases of fermions. The features of this transition are qualitatively different from those of Brinkman-Rice-type transitions.
