Striped phases in two-dimensional dipole systems

چکیده
We prove that a system of discrete two-dimensional 2D in-plane dipoles with four possible orientations, interacting via a three-dimensional 3D dipole-dipole interaction plus a nearest neighbor ferromagnetic term, has periodic striped ground states. As the strength of the ferromagnetic term is increased, the size of the stripes in the ground state increases, becoming infinite, i.e., giving a ferromagnetic ground state, when the ferromagnetic interaction exceeds a certain critical value. We also give a rigorous proof of the reorientation transition in the ground state of a 2D system of discrete dipoles with six possible orientations, interacting via a 3D dipole-dipole interaction plus a nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic term. As the strength of the antiferromagnetic term is increased, the ground state flips from being striped and in plane to being staggered and out of plane. An example of a rotator model with a sinusoidal ground state is also discussed.

Novel quantum phases of dipolar bose gases in optical lattices.
We investigate the quantum phases of polarized dipolar bosons loaded into a two-dimensional square and three-dimensional cubic optical lattices. We show that the long-range and anisotropic nature of the dipole-dipole interaction induces a rich variety of quantum phases, including the supersolid and striped supersolid phases in two-dimensional lattices, and the layered supersolid phase in three-...
متن کاملPhase transitions and autocorrelation times in two-dimensional Ising model with dipole interactions
Abstract Two-dimensional spin model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interaction and long-range dipolar interactions exhibits a rich phase diagram. The presence of the dipolar interaction changes the ferromagnetic ground state expected for pure Ising model to a series of striped phases as a function of the interaction strengths. Monte Carlo simulations and histogram reweighting techniques ap...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Effect of Boundary Conditions on Striped Phases
We study the influence of boundary conditions on stationary, periodic patterns in one-dimensional systems. We show how a conceptual understanding of the structure of equilibria in large domains can be based on the characterization of boundary layers through displacement-strain curves. Most prominently, we distinguish wavenumber-selecting and phase-selecting boundary conditions and show how they...
متن کاملStability of superflow in supersolid phases of lattice bosons with dipole-dipole interaction
We investigate the stability of superflow of bosons with isotropic dipole-dipole interactions in a two-dimensional optical lattice. We perform linear stability analyses for the dipolar Bose-Hubbard model in the hardcore boson limit, and show that the superflow can exist in a supersolid phase unless the velocity exceeds a certain critical value and that the critical value is remarkably smaller t...

We show that lattice regularization of noncommutative field theories can be used to study non-perturbative vacuum phases. Specifically we provide evidence for the existence of a striped phase in two-dimensional noncommutative scalar field theory.
