Phase Diagram of Semi-Hard-Core Bosons on a Square Lattice

Abstract

Abstract: Phase diagrams of charged “semi-hard-core” bosons are studied in the mean field approximation. An increase in the parameter of local correlations is shown to lead to the transformation of the phase diagram of the system from the form characteristic of “hard-core” bosons to the limiting form with a parabolic dependence of the critical temperature of charge ordering on the boson concentration. The evolution between these limiting cases is dependent on the ratio between the model parameters and is accompanied by various effects, such as the change in the phase transition type, the appearance of new order–order transition, and the appearance of new critical points. © 2021, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
