The phase diagram of this model is constructed in terms of the disorder strength and the chemical potential. Via quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we find a multicritical line separating the weak-disorder regime, where a random potential is irrelevant, from the strong-disorder regime. In the weak-disorder regime, the Mott-insulator-to-superfluid transition occurs, while, in the strong-disorder regime, the Bose-glass-to-superfluid transition occurs. On the multicritical line, the insulator-to-superfluid transition has the dynamical critical exponent $z=1.35 \\pm 0.05$ and the correlation length critical exponent $\\nu=0.67 \\pm 0.03$, that are different from the values for the transitions off the line. We suggest that the proliferation of the particle-hole pairs screens out the weak disorder effects.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-11-28T03:53:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase diagram", "two-dimensional disordered boson hubbard model", "dimensions", "strong-disorder regime", "weak-disorder regime" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
