Spin–charge separation

ID: spin-charge-separation

Spin-charge separation is a theoretical concept in condensed matter physics that describes the phenomenon where the spin and charge of an electron behave as distinct entities in certain materials, particularly in low-dimensional systems such as one-dimensional wires or two-dimensional materials. In conventional metallic systems, electrons are treated as point-like particles that carry both charge and spin, which are not separable.
