Abstract

Advances in creating stable dipolar Bose systems, and ingenious box traps have generated tremendous interest. Theory study of dipolar bosons at finite temperature (T) has been limited. Motivated by these, we study 2D dipolar bosons at arbitrary tilt angle, $\theta$, using finite-T random phase approximation. We show that a comprehensive understanding of phases and instabilities at non-zero T can be obtained on concurrently considering dipole strength, density, temperature and $\theta$. We find the system to be in a homogeneous non-condensed phase that undergoes a collapse transition at large $\theta$, and a finite momentum instability, signaling a striped phase, at large dipolar strength; there are important differences with the T=0 case. At T = 0, BEC appears at critical dipolar strength, and at critical density. Our predictions for polar molecule system, $^{41}K^{87}Rb$, and $^{166}Er$ may provide tests of our results. Our approach may apply broadly to systems with long-range, anisotropic interactions.
