It has been heatedly discussed whether spin-charge separation is the root cause of various novel physical properties of strongly correlated low-dimensional electron systems, but it is still controversial. Since light couples only to the charge degrees of freedom, the spin dynamics is driven by the photoinduced charge motion through the coupling between spin and charge degrees of freedom. Therefore, the ultrafast optical excitation provides an ideal stage to investigate the problem of spin-charge separation. Considering these points, we have investigated the dynamics of photoexcited states in strongly correlated low-dimensional electron systems, and we have obtained the following results.We show that transient four wave mixing intensity sensitively reflects the relaxations due to the charge and spin motions. This enables us to clarify the interplay of charge and spin degrees of freedom. In the two-dimensional case, a well-separated two-step relaxation is observed. This shows that the coupling between the spin and charge degrees of freedom is weak in this case. In the one-dimensional case, spin-charge separation holds almost rigorously. We find the photoexcited states where two or more than two holons and doublons are strongly bound, and the cluster of bound holons and doublons coexists with the surrounding antiferromagnetic spin order, for the realistic Coulomb interaction parameters. The holon-doublon cluster states have a unique charge aggregation mechanism originating from spin-spin interaction in the antiferromagnetic spin background as well as from the direct Coulomb interaction in the two-dimensional case. The charge aggregation mechanism is the outcomes of exotic natures of holons and doublons. We also find that the essentially different absorption spectra between the one-dimensional and the two-dimensional Mott insulators originate from the difference in the coupling between spin and charge degrees of freedom.

自旋-电荷分离是否是强相关低维电子系统各种新物理性质的根本原因一直是人们讨论的热点，但目前仍存在争议。由于光只与电荷自由度耦合，自旋动力学是由光诱导电荷运动通过自旋和电荷自由度之间的耦合驱动的。因此，超快光激发为研究自旋-电荷分离问题提供了一个理想的平台。考虑到这些问题，我们研究了强相关低维电子系统的光激发态动力学，得到了以下结果：我们发现瞬态四波混频强度灵敏地反映了电荷和自旋运动引起的弛豫。这使我们能够澄清电荷和自旋自由度的相互作用。在二维情况下，观察到分离良好的两步弛豫。这表明在这种情况下，自旋自由度和电荷自由度之间的耦合是弱的。在一维情况下，自旋-电荷分离几乎是严格成立的。对于实际的库仑相互作用参数，我们发现了两个或两个以上的双胶子和双胶子被强束缚的光激发态，并且束缚的双胶子和胶子团与周围的反铁磁自旋有序共存。在反铁磁自旋背景下的自旋相互作用和二维情况下的直接库仑相互作用使双玻子团簇态具有独特的电荷聚集机制。电荷聚集机制是由双粒子和双粒子的奇异性质决定的。我们还发现一维和二维莫特绝缘体的吸收光谱本质上的不同是由于自旋自由度和电荷自由度之间耦合的不同。
