Abstract

We report charge dynamics of a quantum spin-1/2 chain (SrCuO₂) over the complete Brillouin zone using the momentum tunability of inelastic X-ray scattering. Excitations at the insulating gap edge are found to be highly dispersive. Observed dispersions are consistent with charge fluctuations involving holons unique to 1-D spin-1/2 quantum systems.
