Dynamical local-field factors and effective interactions in the two-dimensional electron liquid
Gurinder S. Atwal, Iya G. Khalil, Neil William Ashcroft
We present an analytical study of the dynamical local-field factors associated with the response of a homogeneous two-dimensional interacting electron liquid as functions of momentum, frequency, and density. We derive sum rules that constrain their asymptotic forms (in momentum and frequency) for both the spin-symmetric and spin-antisymmetric cases. Parametrized expressions for the local-field factors are proposed, based on all available sum rules and on many-body perturbation theory, and these are found to be in good agreement with quantum Monte Carlo calculations. Finally, these expressions are used to evaluate the effective electron-electron interaction in a local approximation for two-dimensional systems. It is shown that both the quantitative and qualitative behaviors of the interaction are sensitive to the inclusion of dynamical correlations.
