Cell Model of a Bose-Condensed Solid

Abstract
A cell model of a Boson quantum system is described. The model has three phases at T=0 K: normal crystal, Bose-condensed liquid, and Bose-condensed crystal. The excitation spectrum for the Bose-condensed crystal has two branches, a gapless vacancy wave mode and a vacancy-interstitial wave mode with a gap. It is proposed that this phase might be detected in He4 near the liquid-solid transition line.
