Abstract

Using quantum Monte Carlo method, we study, under external magnetic fields, the ground state phase diagram of the two-dimensional spin =1/2 dimer model with an anisotropic intra-plane antiferromagnetic coupling. With the anisotropy , a supersolid phase characterized by a non-uniform bose condensate density that breaks translational symmetry is found. The rich phase diagram also contains a checkerboard solid and two different types of superfluid phase formed by and spin triplets, with finite staggered magnetization in z-axis and in-plane direction, respectively. As we show, the model can be realized as a consequence of including the next nearest neighbor coupling among dimers and our results suggest that spin dimer systems may be an ideal model system to study the supersolid phase.
