Magnetic phase diagram and quantum phase transitions in a two-species boson model

Abstract

We analyze the possible types of ordering in a boson--fermion model. The Hamiltonian is inherently related to the Bose--Hubbard model for vector two-species bosons in optical lattices. We show that such model can be reduced to the Kugel--Khomskii type spin--pseudospin model, but in contrast to the usual version of the latter model, we are dealing here with the case of spin $S=1$ and pseudospin $1/2$. We show that the interplay of spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom leads to a rather nontrivial magnetic phase diagram including the spin-nematic configurations. Tuning the spin-channel interaction parameter $U_s$ gives rise to quantum phase transitions. We find that the ground state of the system always has the pseudospin domain structure. On the other hand, the sign change of $U_s$ switches the spin arrangement of the ground state within domains from ferro- to aniferromagnetic one. Finally, we revisit the spin (pseudospin)-1/2 Kugel--Khomskii model and see the inverse picture of phase transitions.
