Topological phase separation in 2D hard-core Bose-Hubbard system away from half-filling
A. S. Moskvin, I. G. Bostrem, A. S. Ovchinnikov
We suppose that the doping of the 2D hard-core boson system away from half-filling may result in the formation of a multicenter topological defect such as charge order (CO) bubble domain(s) with Bose superfluid (BS) and extra bosons both localized in domain wall(s), or a topological CO + BS phase separation , rather than a uniform mixed CO + BS supersolid phase. Starting from the classical model, we predict the properties of the respective quantum system. The long-wavelength behavior of the system is believed to resemble that of granular superconductors, CDW materials, Wigner crystals, and multiskyrmion system akin in a quantum Hall ferromagnetic state of a 2D electron gas.
