Single hole dynamics in the one-dimensional - model

Abstract:

We present a new finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo algorithm to compute imaginary-time Green functions for a single hole in the t-J model on non-frustrated lattices. Spectral functions are obtained with the Maximum Entropy method. Simulations of the one-dimensional case show that a simple charge-spin separation Ansatz is able to describe the overall features of the spectral function such as the bandwidth and the compact support of the spectral function, over the whole energy range for values of J / t from 1/3 to 4. This is contrasted with the two-dimensional case. The quasiparticle weight Z_k is computed on lattices up to L =128 sites in one dimension, and scales as .
