Abstract
We suppose that the doping of the 2D
hard-core boson system away from half-filling may result in the formation of
multi-center topological defect such as charge order (CO) bubble domain(s) with
Bose superfluid (BS) and extra bosons both localized in domain wall(s), or a
topological CO+BS phase
separation, rather than an uniform mixed CO+BS supersolid phase. Starting from
the classical model we predict the properties of the respective quantum system.
The long-wavelength behavior of the system is believed to remind that of
granular superconductors, CDW materials, Wigner crystals, and multi-skyrmion
system akin in a quantum Hall ferromagnetic state of a 2D electron gas.
