Effective electron-electron interaction in a two dimensional paramagnetic system

TL;DR

This paper investigates the effective electron-electron interactions in a two-dimensional polarized paramagnetic system, highlighting spin-dependent effects and their dependence on electronic density and polarization.

Contribution

It provides a self-consistent method to calculate spin-dependent effective interactions across all momenta, based on asymptotic local field correction values.

Findings

Effective interactions differ for up-up, up-down, down-up, down-down spins.

Interactions depend on electronic density and polarization.

Results are independent of local field correction approximations at intermediate momenta.

Abstract

We analyze the effective electron-electron interaction in a two dimensional polarized paramagnetic system. The spin degree of freedom, s, is manifestly present in the expressions of spin dependent local field factors that describe the short range exchange (x) and correlation (c) effects. Starting from the exact asymptotic values of the local field correction functions for large and small momentum at zero frequency we obtain self-consistent expressions across the whole spectrum of momenta. Then, the effective interaction between two electrons with spins s and s' is calculated. We find that the four effective interactions, up-up, up-down, down-up and down-down, are different. We also obtain their qualitative dependence on the electronic density and polarization and note that these results are independent of the approximation used for the local field correction functions at intermediate momenta.
