Abstract
Applying the classical-map hypernetted-chain method (CHNC) developed recently by Dharma-wardana and Perrot, we have studied the temperature and spin-polarization effects on electron correlation in the uniform quantum two-dimensional gas (2DEG) over a wide range of temperature T and spin-polarization ζ. The quantum fluid at the temperature T is mapped to a classical fluid at the temperature T cf given by T cf 2= T 2+ T q 2, where the quantum temperature T q is determined by comparing the calculated correlation energy to that of Monte Carlo results for the fully spin-polarized quantum system at zero temperature. By the iterative solution of the modified HNC equation and the Ornstein–Zernike equation, we have obtained the pair distribution function (PDF) and correlation energy for the two-component classical 2DEG with a classical fluid temperature T cf. The anti-parallel bridge function B 12( r) appearing in the modified HNC equation is determined by using the Monte Carlo correlation energy at T=0 or STLS (Singwi–Tosi–Land-Sjölander) result at T>0 and the numerical solution to the Percus–Yevick (PY) equation for the system of hard disks. By calculating the Pauli potential, the bridge function, PDFs, structure factors and correlation energy, we have shown that in some cases, the properties of the uniform quantum 2DEG depend remarkably on the temperature and spin-polarization.
