The static response and the local-field factor of the 2-D electron fluid

Abstract

The static local-field factor (LFF) of the interacting 2-D fluid is calculated nonperturbatively using a mapping of the quantum fluid to a classical Coulomb fluid [Phys. Rev. Let., {\bf 87}, 206 (2002)]. The LFF for the paramagnetic fluid DIFFERS MARKEDLY from expectations from standard perturbation theory. Our result for the LFF has a maximum close to 3$k_F$, while perturbation methods yield a maximum near 2$k_F$. The available quantum Monte Carlo data seem to agree with our results.These findings imply that many effects, e.g., Friedel oscillations, Kohn anomalies, effective electron-electron interactions, etc., are affected by the strong correlations among anti-parallel spins in 2D.

Structure of the local-field factor of the 2D electron fluid. Possible evidence for correlated scattering of electron pairs

M. W. C. Dharma‐wardana, F. Perrot

The static local-field factor (LFF) of the 2D electron fluid is calculated nonperturbatively using a mapping to a classical Coulomb fluid ( Phys. Rev. Lett. , 87 (2001) 206404). The LFF for the paramagnetic fluid differs markedly from perturbation theory where a peak near 2 k F is expected. Our LFF has a quasi-linear small- k region leading to a peak close to 3 k F , in agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo data. The structure in the LFF and its dependence on the density and temperature are interpreted as a signature of correlated scattering of electron pairs of opposite spin. The lack of structure at 2 k F implies weakened Friedel oscillations, Kohn anomalies, etc.

Static local-field factors in a two-dimensional electron liquid

Reza Asgari, A. Levent Subaşı, Amir Abbas Sabouri-Dodaran +1 more

We present a numerical calculation for the static spin-symmetric and spin-antisymmetric local-field factors as a function of density in a two-dimensional (2D) unpolarized electron liquid. We use a recent analytical expression for the spin-resolved pair distribution function of a 2D electron liquid based on quantum Monte Carlo simulation data and accurate correlation energy as input to construct the local-field factors from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We obtain good agreement with data from quantum Monte Carlo studies of the 2D electron liquid over an extensive range of density.

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.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the ground state of the two-dimensional Fermi fluid

N. D. Drummond, Richard J. Needs

We have used the variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods to calculate the energy, pair-correlation function, static structure factor, and momentum density of the ground state of the two-dimensional (2D) homogeneous electron gas. We have used highly accurate Slater-Jastrow-backflow trial wave functions and twist averaging to reduce finite-size effects where applicable. We compare our results with others in the literature and construct a local-density-approximation exchange-correlation functional for 2D systems.

Theory of electron liquids. II. Static and dynamic form factors, correlation energy, and plasmon dispersion

Naoki Iwamoto, E. Krotscheck, David Pines

We use the Ceperley and Alder Green's-function Monte Carlo data for the static form factor, $S(q)$, of an electron liquid to calculate the static local-field correction, $G(q)$, to the dielectric function which takes into account short-range electron correlations. The resulting local-field correction in the long-wavelength limit is obtained by smoothly fitting to the results of Iwamoto and Pines, which are exact in this limit. We use the $G(q)$ thus obtained to calculate the static and dynamic form factors, the contribution to the correlation energy from different momentum transfers, plasmon dispersion, and the plasmon-dispersion coefficient. We compare these theoretical quantities with the available experimental data, and use the ${\ensuremath{\omega}}^{3}$-sum rule (which we also calculate from the Monte Carlo data) to discuss the limitations arising from the use of the static local-field correction.

Correlations in two-dimensional electron gas: Random-phase approximation with exchange and ladder results

Francesco Pederiva, E. Lipparini, K Takayanagi

We have evaluated the density-density response of the two-dimensional electron gas at zero temperature by solving the Dyson equation for the particle-hole Green's function, including exchange Coulomb matrix elements and short-range contributions in the ladder approximation. We study the effect of these correlations on the total energy, compressibility per particle, local field factor G ( q ), static structure factor and pair-correlation function. Results are compared with the normal random-phase approximation, local field theories and quantum Monte Carlo calculations.
