Nonequilibrium propagation and decay of a bound pair in driven t-J
models    [PDF]

J. Bonca, M. Mierzejewski, L. Vidmar

We perform an accurate time-dependent numerical study of out-of-equilibrium response of a bound state within t-J systems on a two-leg ladder and a square lattice. We show that the bound hole pair decays with the onset of finite steady current if both mechanisms for binding and the dissipation share matching degrees of freedom. Moreover, by investigating the mechanism of decay on the square lattice we find that the dynamics is governed by the decay in the direction perpendicular to the electric field, leading to much shorter decay times in comparison to the ladder where such dynamics is topologically restricted.
