Title: Finite-Temperature Phase Diagram of Hard-Core Bosons in Two Dimensions
(Submitted on 1 Oct 2001 (v1), last revised 15 Feb 2002 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We determine the finite-temperature phase diagram of the square lattice hard-core boson Hubbard model with nearest neighbor repulsion using quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This model is equivalent to an anisotropic spin-1/2 XXZ model in a magnetic field. We present the rich phase diagram with a first order transition between solid and superfluid phase, instead of a previously conjectured supersolid and a tricritical end point to phase separation. Unusual reentrant behavior with ordering upon increasing the temperature is found, similar to the Pomeranchuk effect in 3He.
