摘要
We analyze the quantum phases of multicomponent Bose-Hubbard models in optical superlattices based on a mean-field method, that is, the decoupling approximation. The global phase diagrams exhibit complex patterns with various charge-density-wave orders for both one-and two-component cases. We further calculate the effective spin excitations for the two-component case in the strong-coupling region at unit filling, and show the existence of a spin-density-wave order. The results of our study can be tested straightforwardly with current cold-atom experimental techniques.
