Abstract

We investigate the spin-charge separation in the Luttinger liquid with a defective bond of controllable spin-dependent hopping by using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group method. The model is the non-half-filled Hubbard chain with this special bond, which is found to block the relevant spin current with little influence on charge current. We have considered the pure spin and charge currents induced by the voltage biases that are applied to the ideal leads attached at the ends of this Hubbard chain. The phenomenon is so robust that one may utilize it to observe the spin-charge separation directly.
