Variational study of the spin-gap phase of the one-dimensionalt-Jmodel
Y. C. Chen, T. K. Lee
Abstract
We propose a correlated spin-singlet-pair wave function to describe the spin-gap phase of the one-dimensional t-J model at low density and large J/t. In addition to having singlet pairs, this wave function has a Jastrow factor with a variational parameter \ensuremath{\nu}. Several correlation functions are calculated by using the variational Monte Carlo method. The result shows the expected long-range behavior of the Luther-Emery phase with the Luttinger exponent ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$ related to \ensuremath{\nu}, ${\mathit{K}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}$=1/2\ensuremath{\nu}. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
