On the Spin Gap Phase of Strongly-Correlated Electrons

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We discuss the possible existence of a spin-gap phase in the low-doping regime of strongly-correlated two-dimensional electrons within the gauge field description of the t-J model. The spin-gap phase was recently shown by Ubbens and Lee to be destroyed by gauge field quantum fluctuations for a single-layer 2D system in the absence of disorder and for a full gap. We show that the same conclusion applies both in the dirty limit and for the case of a gapless spinon condensate.
