Abstract

We use a two-color lattice to break the homogeneous site occupation of an atomic Mott insulator ofbosonic Rb-87. We detect the disruption of the ordered Mott domains via noise correlation analysis of theatomic density distribution after time of flight. The appearance of additional correlation peaks evidencesthe redistribution of the atoms into a strongly inhomogeneous insulating state, in quantitative agreementwith the predictions.
