We study the one-dimensional t-J-J'-model in the limit of small hole doping $x$ and small $J/t$, $J'/t$. Special emphasis is put on the regime $J'/J \approx .5$ where a spin gap is present at small doping and the undoped spin chain is…
We examine the effect of spin gap on single-hole spectral function in the one-dimensional t-J-J'model. At J'/J=1/2, where a dimer state is the ground state, an analytic expression is derived for J/t \to 0. At finite values of J/t, the…
