Title: Spin Charge Separation in the Quantum Spin Hall State

Journal Article · · Phys.Rev.Lett.101:086802,2008
OSTI ID:973790

The quantum spin Hall state is a topologically non-trivial insulator state protected by the time reversal symmetry. We show that such a state always leads to spin-charge separation in the presence of a {pi} flux. Our result is generally valid for any interacting system. We present a proposal to experimentally observe the phenomenon of spin-charge separation in the recently discovered quantum spin Hall system.
