Exchange and correlation effect on spin Coulomb drag in a quasi-two-dimensional electron system

چکیده
We investigate the effect of many-body electronic correlations on spin Coulomb drag (SCD) beyond the random phase approximation (RPA). We make use of the fully spin-resolved static and dynamical many-body local field factors of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) to improve the calculations of the particle-hole and plasmon-mediated contributions to the SCD. Also, we incorporate in our calculations the transverse thickness of the quantum well in which the 2DEG resides. In contrast to the conventional charge Coulomb drag, in the SCD the effect of layer thickness is significant even at relatively high temperature and densities. The final outcome of our study is that the enhancement of the spin drag caused by many-body local field effects largely compensates the reduction of the effect coming from the finite well thickness, restoring good agreement with the experimental observations by C.P.

Finite width and local field corrections to spin coulomb drag in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas.
We study the spin Coulomb drag in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas of finite transverse width, including local field corrections beyond the random phase approximation (RPA). We find that the finite transverse width of the electron gas causes a significant reduction of the spin Coulomb drag. This reduction, however, is largely compensated by the enhancement coming from the inclusion of many-...
متن کاملCalculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
متن کاملSpin Coulomb drag in the two-dimensional electron liquid
We calculate the spin-drag transresistivity ρ↑↓(T ) in a two-dimensional electron gas at temperature T in the random phase approximation. In the lowtemperature regime we show that, at variance with the three-dimensional low-temperature result [ρ↑↓(T ) ∼ T 2], the spin transresistivity of a twodimensional spin unpolarized electron gas has the form ρ↑↓(T ) ∼ T 2 lnT . In the spin-polarized case t...

This review article is about the role of electron-electron interactions in low dimensional systems and its transport properties in nano-structures. It begins with a review of the pair-distribution function theory of electron liquid systems taking into account the electron-electron interactions. We extend the theory for highly correlated system such two- and one-dimensional electron liquids. We...
متن کاملSpin and temperature dependent study of exchange and correlation in thick two-dimensional electron layers
The exchange and correlation Exc of strongly correlated electrons in two-dimensional 2D layers of finite width are studied as a function of the density parameter rs, spin-polarization and the temperature T. We explicitly treat strong-correlation effects via pair-distribution functions, and introduce an equivalent constantdensity approximation CDA applicable to all the inhomogeneous densities en...
