We consider a two-dimensional electron system with Coulomb interaction between particles at a finite temperature
T. We show that the dynamic Kohn anomaly in the response function at
2kF leads to a nonanalytic, linear-in-
T correction to the spin susceptibility, $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\chi}(T)=aT$, the same as in systems with short-range interaction. We show that the singularity of the Coulomb interaction at
q=0 does not invalidate the expansion of the prefactor
a in powers of
rs, but makes the expansion nonanalytic.
In this work, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of the two-dimensional square-octagon structure (2DSOS) using a tight-binding framework augmented by on-site Coulomb interaction. We examine how varying hopping parameters, magnetic flux, and interaction strength influence the system’s band structure, dynamical transverse spin susceptibility (DTSS), and static spin structure factor (SSSF). Our findings reveal the emergence of a flat band when the third-nearest-neighbor hopping term t 3 equals the nearest-neighbor hopping t 1 , significantly affecting the magnetic response. The frequency dependence of the DTSS demonstrates that both magnetic flux and Coulomb repulsion shift the resonance peaks to higher frequencies and suppress their intensities, indicating a suppression of low-energy spin fluctuations. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the SSSF underlines a transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic behavior as the ratio t 2 /t 1 increases. These results highlight the crucial role of electronic correlations and lattice geometry in shaping the spin dynamics of flat-band systems and offer valuable insights for designing future spintronic and correlated electron devices.
A simple calculation of the wave-vector- and frequency-dependent paramagnetic spin susceptibility of an interacting electron gas is presented. The equation of motion of the double-time Green's function is solved using a moment-conserving decoupling approximation. For the short-range interaction, our expression for the dynamic spin susceptibility reduces to a previous result of Wolff. In the static and long-wavelength limit, our result for the Stonerenhanced spin susceptibility coincides with that obtained from consideration of the groundstate energy in the Hartree-Fock approximation.
