Observation of spin-charge separation and boundary bound states via the local density of states
arXiv:1612.05597 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.95.205103
Abstract
We numerically calculate the local density of states (LDOS) of a one-dimensional Mott insulator with open boundaries, which is modelled microscopically by a (extended) Hubbard chain at half filling. In the Fourier transform of the LDOS we identify several dispersing features corresponding to propagating charge and spin degrees of freedom, thus providing a visualisation of the spin-charge separation in the system. We also consider the effect of an additional boundary potential, which, if sufficiently strong, leads to the formation of a boundary bound state which is clearly visible in the LDOS as a non-dispersing feature inside the Mott gap.
