Cold-atoms on a two-dimensional square optical lattice with an alternating potential
arXiv:0903.4234 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.79.035401
Abstract
The cold-atom on a two-dimensional square optical lattice is studied within the hard-core boson Hubbard model with an alternating potential. In terms of the quantum Monte Carlo method, it is shown explicitly that a supersolid phase emerges due to the presence of the alternating potential. For the weak alternating potential, the supersolid state appears for the whole range of hard-core boson densities except the half-filling case, where the system is a Mott insulator. However, for the strong alternating potential, besides the supersolid and Mott insulating states, a charge density wave phase appears.
