Charge fluctuations close to phase separation in the two dimensional t-J   model
  We have studied the t-J model using the Green Function Monte Carlo technique. We have obtained accurate energies well converged in the thermodynamic limit, by performing simulations up to 242 lattice sites. By studying the energy as a function of hole doping we conclude that there is no phase separation in the physical region, relevant for HTc superconductors. This finding is further supported by the hole-hole correlation function calculation. Remarkably, by approaching the phase separation instability, for $J_c/t\sim 0.5$,this function displays enhanced fluctuations at incommensurate wavevectors, scaling linearly with the doping, in agreement with experimental findings.
