The Charge-Spin Separated Fermi Fluid in the High Tc Cuprates: A Quantum Protectorate

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We find experimental evidence for spin-charge separation in all four relevant phases of the cuprates. It is argued that this phenomenon serves to protect the properties of the cuprates from the effects of impurities and phonons.
