Hardcore bosonic domain walls on honeycomb lattice
arXiv:2005.07984 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.063609
Abstract
Linelike hardcore bosonic domain walls in a staggered potential on honeycomb lattice are studied using quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The phase diagrams of ribbons with zigzag and armchair domain walls are mapped, which contain superfluid and insulator phases at various fillings. In the insulator, the domain wall separates two charge-density-wave (CDW) regions with opposite Berry curvatures. Associated with the change of topological properties, superfluid transport occurs down the domain wall. The superfluid density associated with a zigzag domain wall is much larger than that of an armchair domain wall due to the different arrangements of occupied and unoccupied sites along the domain wall. Our results provide a concrete context to study bosonic topological phenomena, which may be simulated experimentally using bosonic cold atoms trapped in optical lattices.
