Abstract
We study the ground-state phase diagram of boson chains on a 2-period superlattice using the density matrix renormalization group method. New insulators for commensurate densities were found, differentiated by the arrangement of the particles in the unit cell, which was corroborated by analysis of the density versus the potential strength. Also, phase transitions between insulators for ρ ≥ 1 were seen, and a maximum in the behavior of the von Neumann entropy in the critical region was revealed, which suggests a superfluid phase between the insulators.
