Photoemission spectra of the t-J model in 1 and 2D: similarities and differences

Abstract

We present an exact diagonalization study of the single particle spectral function in the 1D and 2D t-J model. By studying the scaling properties with J and t we find a simple building pattern in 1D and show that every spectral feature can be uniquely assigned by a spinon and holon momentum. We find two types of low energy excitations: a band with energy scale J and high spectral weight disperses upwards in the interior part of the Brillouin zone and reaches E_F at k_F, and a band with energy scale t and low spectral weight disperses downwards in the outer part of the zone, touching E_F at 3k_F. An analogous analysis of the 2D case at half filling shows that the t-band exists also in this case, but is diffuse and never reaches the Fermi energy. For the doped case in 2D the picture is more reminiscent of 1D, in particular the `main-band' with a dispersion proportional J and the `shadow band' with energy scale t can be identified also in this case. This leads us to propose that the shadow bands discovered by Aebi et al. in Bi2212 are the 2D analogue of the 3k_F singularity in 1D systems and unrelated to antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.
