SUPERSYMMETRIC T-J MODEL IN ONE DIMENSION - SEPARATION OF SPIN AND CHARGE

Using the Bethe-Ansatz technique, we diagonalize exactly the one-dimensional t-J Hamiltonian for the supersymmetric case t=J. In this limit it is identical with models considered previously by Sutherland and by Schlottmann. The ground state is a liquid of singlet pairs of varying spatial separation for all band fillings. We find two types of gapless excitations with effective Fermi surfaces at 2kF and kF which we identify with the holon and the spinon excitations near half filling. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
