Abstract
The Cluster Mean Field theory calculation is extended for finite temperatures to study the combined effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations on various phases arising in the spin-1 Bose Hubbard model. This investigation finds that the polar nature of the superfluid phase persists, and the density of bosons with spin component σ = 0 increases with the temperature. The phase diagram is obtained and compared with that of the single-site mean-field theory. Compressibility shows a signature of divergence at the transition from the polar superfluid phase to the normal bose liquid phase. Small thermal fluctuations are sufficient to destroy the anti-ferromagnetic, maximally entangled odd density Mott insulator phase, whereas large thermal fluctuations are needed to break the singlet formed in the even density Mott insulator phase. However, in both the cases, the insulators melt to normal bose liquid at the same temperature.
