Density wave and supersolid phases of correlated bosons in an optical lattice
Density wave and supersolid phases of correlated bosons in an optical lattice
Motivated by the recent experiment on the Bose-Einstein condensation of $^{52}$Cr atoms with long-range dipolar interactions (Werner J. et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 94 (2005) 183201), we consider a system of bosons with repulsive nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions in an optical lattice. The ground state phase diagram, calculated using …
