  15. Two Species Bose-Hubbard Model Exploration of New Quantum Phase Transitions: Present work : ta = tb =1 , Ua = Ub = U Physics of the system is determined by Δ = Uab / U and the densities of the two species ρa = Na/L and ρb = Nb/L

  16. Theoretical Approach GL = [EL(Na+1,Nb) - EL(Na,Nb)] – [EL(Na,Nb) - EL(Na-1,Nb)] We calculate the Gap: And the onsite density: For ‘a’ and ‘b’ type bosons, EL(Na,Nb)is the ground state energy and | Ψ0LNaNb>is the ground state wave function for a system of length L with Na (Nb) number of a(b) type bosons obtained by DMRG method which involves the iterative diagonalization of a wave function and the energy for a particular state of a many-body system. The size of the space is determined by an appropriate number of eigen values and eigen vectors of the density matrix. • We study the system forΔ =0.95 andΔ =1.05 . • We have considered three different cases of densities i.e ρa = ρb = ½ , ρa = 1, ρb = ½ and ρa = ρb = 1 <niα> = <Ψ0LNaNb| niα| Ψ0LNaNb>

  17. Result • ForΔ = 0.95 and for all densities there is a transition from 2SF-MI at some critical value Uc . • For Δ = 1.05 and ρa = ρb = ½ there is a transition from 2SF to a new phase known as PS-SF at some critical value of U and there is a further transition to another new phase known as PS-MI for some higher value of U. • For Δ = 1.05 and ρa = 1 and ρb = ½there is a transition from 2SF to PS-SF. The PS-MI phase does not appear in this case. • Finally for Δ = 1.05 and ρa = ρb = 1 there is a transition from 2SF to PS-MI without an intermediate PS-SF phase. This result is very intriguing.

  18. Results.... This plots shows the SF-MI transition at the critical point Uc=3.4 for Δ = 0.95 Plots of<nia> and <nib>versus L for U = 1 and U = 4 . These plots are for Δ = 1.05 and L=50.

  19. OPS = i |<nai> - <nbi>| The upper plot is between LGL and U which showes the SF-MI transition and the lower one between OPSand U.

  20. Conclusion • For the values of the interaction strengths and the density considered here we obtain phases like 2SF, MI, PS-SF and PS-MI • The SF-MI transition is similar to the single species Bose-Hubbard model with the same total density • When Uab > U we observe phase separation • For ρa = ρb = ½ we observe PS-SF sandwiched between 2SF and PS-MI • For ρa = 1 and ρb = ½ there is a transition from 2SF to PS-SF • For ρa = ρb = 1 no PS-SF was found and the transition is directly from 2SF to MI-PS.
