In this paper the authors explain the many-body non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) from the angle of doublon-holon pairs in the spin-full Hatano-Nelson model. The main result is that while strong interactions suppress doublon-holon pairs in the ground state, leading to the absence of the NHSE, excited eigenstates exhibit these excitations, with doublons and holons moving toward opposite directions.
