The Effective Theory of Hole Doped Spin-1 Chain

Abstract

An effective theory for the hole doped spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain is proposed in this paper. The two branches of low energy quasipaticle excitation is obtained by the diagrammic technique. In the large t limit(in which t is the hole hopping term), the lower band is essentially the bound state of one hole and one magnon and the other band is the sigle hole state. We find a critical value of t, $t_c=0.21{\Delta }_H$(in which ${\Delta }_H$ is the Haldane gap).For $t>t_c$, with the decrement of t, the mixing of these two bands become stronger and stronger, and at the same time the effective band mass becomes larger and larger. When $t<t_c$ the minimum of the lower band moves away from zero the another point between zero and $\pi /2$. The spin strcture factor is also calculated in this paper, and we find that for large t limit the main contribution is from the inter-band transition which induce a resonant peak in the Haldane gap. While for small t limit the main contribution is from the intra-band transition which only cause a diffusion like broad bump in the Haldan gap.
