The two-dimensional disordered Boson Hubbard model: Evidence for a direct Mott-insulator-to-superfluid transition and localization in the Bose glass phase

Jens Kisker, Heiko Rieger

We investigate the Bose glass phase and the insulator-to-superfluid transition in the two-dimensional disordered Boson Hubbard model in the Villain representation via Monte Carlo simulations. In the Bose glass phase the probability distribution of the local susceptibility is found to have a 1χ2 tail and the imaginary time Green's function decays algebraically C(τ) ≈ τ−1 giving rise to a divergent global susceptibility. By considering the participation ratio it is shown that the excitations in the Bose glass phase are fully localized and a scaling law is established. For commensurate Boson densities we find direct Mott insulator to superfluid transition without an intervening Bose glass phase for weak disorder. For this transition we obtain the critical exponents z = 1, v = 0.7 ± 0.1 and η = 0.1 ± 0.1, which agree with those for the classical three-dimensional XY model without disorder. This indicates that disorder is irrelevant at the tip of the Mott-lobes and that here the inequality v⩾2d is violated.

Bose-glass and Mott-insulator phase in the disordered boson Hubbard model

Jens Kisker, Heiko Rieger

We study the two-dimensional disordered boson Hubbard model via quantum Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the probability distribution of the local susceptibility has a 1/${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}^{2}$ tail in the Bose-glass phase. This gives rise to a divergence although particles are completely localized here as we prove with the help of the participation ratio. We demonstrate the presence of an incompressible Mott lobe within the Bose-glass phase and show that a direct Mott-insulator-to-superfluid transition happens at the tip of the lobe. Here we find critical exponents z=1, \ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\sim}0.7 and \ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\sim}0.1, which agree with those of the pure three-dimensional classical XY model.

Bose-glass, superfluid, and rung-Mott phases of hard-core bosons in disordered two-leg ladders

Juan Carrasquilla, Federico Becca, Michele Fabrizio

By means of Monte Carlo techniques, we study the role of disorder on a system of hard-core bosons in a two-leg ladder with both intrachain ($t$) and interchain (${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) hoppings. We find that the phase diagram as a function of the boson density, disorder strength, and ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}/t$ is far from being trivial. This contrasts with the case of spinless fermions where standard localization arguments apply and an Anderson-localized phase pervades the whole phase diagram. A compressible Bose-glass phase always intrudes between the Mott insulator with zero (or one) bosons per site and the superfluid that is stabilized for weak disorder. At half-filling, there is a direct transition between a (gapped) rung-Mott insulator and a Bose glass, which is driven by exponentially rare regions where disorder is suppressed. Finally, by doping the rung-Mott insulator, a direct transition to the superfluid is possible only in the clean system, whereas the Mott phase is always surrounded by the a Bose glass when disorder is present. The phase diagram based on our numerical evidence is finally reported.
