P. Niyaz et al., PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN AN INTERACTING BOSON MODEL WITH NEAR-NEIGHBOR REPULSION, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(1), 1994, pp. 362-373
We study the order of the zero temperature quantum phase transitions a
t density rho = 1 in the one-dimensional extended boson Hubbard model
by examining the order parameter distribution and hysteresis effects.
The phase diagram of the model at rho = 1/2, a generalization of the s
pin-1/2 XXZ Hamiltonian, is also obtained, and the possibility of a su
persolid region is discussed.
