Ground-State Properties of Electron-Electron Quantum Bilayers

Abstract

The ground-state behavior of electron-electron quantum bilayer systems within the neutralizing background and zero magnetic field is studied by including unequal density of layers. The quantum self-consistent mean-field approximation of Singwi, Tosi, Land and Sjolander (qSTLS) is used to study the intra- and inter layer properties, such as the static pair-correlation functions, the static structure factors, the static density susceptibility and the static local-field correction factors over a wide range of layer density parameter rsι and layer spacing d. We find that the inclusion of unequal density brings a phase transition from charge density wave (CDW) to coupled Wigner crystal (WC) ground state at the close proximity of the layers. We also find that inclusion of unequal density markedly reduce critical rsι for the onset of Wigner crystallization. The results are compared with recent findings of the equal density effects in electron-electron quantum bilayer systems.
