We study the one-dimensional extended Bose-Hubbard model in incommensurate densities using the density matrix renormalization group with the mean-filed (CMFT+DMRG)and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods. We focus on the region of the phase diagram where onsite interaction (U) is smaller than the nearest-neighbor interaction (V). We determine the superfluid and the density wave order parameters to identify superfluid, phase-separated, supersolid, density wave phases, and obtain the phase diagram in the density-onsite interaction(ρ, U) plane for fixed nearest-neighbor interaction. The supersolid and phase-separation phases exist for a wide range of densities. The density ranges for which the phase-separation is seen shrinking with theincrease in the onsite interaction.
We explore the use of exact diagonalization methods for solving the self-consistent equations of the cellular dynamical mean field theory for the one-dimensional regular and extended Hubbard models. We investigate the nature of the Mott transition and convergence of the method as a function of cluster size as well as the optimal allocation of computational resources between bath and ``cluster-impurity'' sites, with a view to develop a renormalization group method in higher dimensions. We assess the performance of the method by comparing results for the Green's functions in both the spin density wave and charge density wave phases with accurate density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations.
By means of the density matrix renormalization group technique, we accurately determine the zero-temperature phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Bose–Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions. We analyze the scaling of the charge and of the neutral ground-state energy gaps, as well as of various order parameters. In this way we come to an accurate location of the boundaries between the superfluid and the insulating phases. In this last region, we are able to distinguish between the conventional Mott insulating and density-wave phases and the Haldane insulator phase displaying long-range string ordering, as originally predicted by Dalla Torre et al (2006 Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 260401).
We use the density-matrix renormalization group to study the one-dimensional bosonic Hubbard model, with and without disorder. We obtain the gaps in all phases, certain correlation functions, and the superfluid density. A finite-size-scaling analysis enables us to obtain an accurate phase diagram and the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ function at the superfluid--Mott insulator transition and the Kosterlitz-Thouless essential singularity in the pure case. We also obtain coupling constants used in effective field theories for this system.
Convergence properties of the variational cluster approach with respect to the variational parameter space, cluster size, and boundary conditions of the reference system are investigated and discussed for bosonic many-body systems. Specifically, the variational cluster approach is applied to the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, which exhibits a quantum phase transition from Mott to superfluid phase. In order to benchmark the variational cluster approach, results for the phase boundary delimiting the first Mott lobe are compared with essentially exact density matrix renormalization group data. Furthermore, static quantities, such as the ground state energy and the one-particle density matrix are compared with high-order strong coupling perturbation theory results. For reference systems with open boundary conditions the variational parameter space is extended by an additional variational parameter which allows for a more uniform particle density on the reference system and thus drastically improves the results. It turns out that the variational cluster approach yields accurate results with relatively low-computational effort for both the phase boundary as well as the static properties of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, even at the tip of the first Mott lobe where correlation effects are most pronounced.
We use the finite-size, density-matrix-renormalization-group (FSDMRG) method to obtain the phase diagram of the one-dimensional
(d=1) extended Bose-Hubbard model for density $\ensuremath{\rho}=1$ in the $U\ensuremath{-}V$ plane, where
U and
V are, respectively, onsite and nearest-neighbor interactions. The phase diagram comprises three phases: superfluid (SF), Mott insulator (MI), and mass-density-wave (MDW). For small values of
U and
V, we get a reentrant SF-MI-SF phase transition. For intermediate values of interactions the SF phase is sandwiched between MI and MDW phases with continuous SF-MI and SF-MDW transitions. We show, by a detailed, finite-size scaling analysis, that the MI-SF transition is of Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) type whereas the MDW-SF transition has both KT and two-dimensional Ising characters. For large values of
U and
V we get a direct, first-order, MI-MDW transition. The MI-SF, MDW-SF, and MI-MDW phase boundaries join at a bicritical point at $(U,V)=(8.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05,4.75\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05)$.
