Temperature Dependence of Spin Correlation and Charge Dynamics in the   Stripe Phase of High-T_c Superconductors
  We examine the temperature dependence of the electronic states in the stripe phase of high-Tc cuprates by using the t-J model with a potential that stabilizes vertical charge stripes. Charge and spin-correlation functions and optical conductivity are calculated by using finite-temperature Lanczos method. At zero temperature, the antiferromagnetic correlation between a spin in a charge stripe and that in a spin domain adjacent to the stripe is weak, since the charge stripe and the spin domain are almost separated. With increasing temperature, the correlation increases and then decreases toward high temperature. This is in contrast to other correlations that decrease monotonically. From the examination of the charge dynamics, we find that this anomalous temperature dependence of the correlation is the consequence of a crossover from one-dimensional electronic states to two-dimensional ones.
