    Notes: Abstract: In 1969, Andreev and Lifshitz have conjectured the existence of a supersolid phase taking place at zero temperature between the quantum liquid and the solid. In this and a succeeding paper, we re-visit this issue for a few polarized electrons (spinless fermions) interacting via a U/r Coulomb repulsion on a two dimensional L×L square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and nearest neighbor hopping t. This paper is restricted to the magic number of particles N = 4 for which a square Wigner molecule is formed when U increases and to the size L = 6 suitable for exact numerical diagonalizations. When the Coulomb energy to kinetic energy ratio r s = UL/(2t ) reaches a value r s F ≈ 10, there is a level crossing between ground states of different momenta. Above r s F, the mesoscopic crystallization proceeds through an intermediate regime ( r s F 〈 r s 〈 r s W ≈ 28) where unpaired fermions with a reduced Fermi energy co-exist with a strongly paired, nearly solid assembly. We suggest that this is the mesoscopic trace of the supersolid proposed by Andreev and Lifshitz. When a random substrate is included, the level crossing at r s F is avoided and gives rise to a lower threshold r s F(W) 〈 r s F where two usual approximations break down: the Wigner surmise for the distribution of the first energy excitation and the Hartree-Fock approximation for the ground state.

    Notes: Abstract: In this second paper, using N = 3 polarized electrons (spinless fermions) interacting via a U/r Coulomb repulsion on a two dimensional L×L square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and nearest neighbor hopping t, we show that a single unpaired fermion can co-exist with a correlated two particle Wigner molecule for intermediate values of the Coulomb energy to kinetic energy ratio r s = UL/(2t ). This supports in an ultimate mesoscopic limit a possibility proposed by Andreev and Lifshitz for the thermodynamic limit: a quantum crystal may have delocalized defects without melting, the number of sites of the crystalline array being smaller than the total number of particles. When L = 6, the ground state exhibits four regimes as rs increases: a Hartree-Fock regime, a first supersolid regime where a correlated pair co-exists with a third fully delocalized particle, a second supersolid regime where the third particle is partly delocalized, and eventually a correlated lattice regime.
