Abstract
The local density of states (LDOS) for a pair of non-relativistic electrons, influenced by repulsive Coulomb forces, is expressed in term of one-dimensional integrals over Whittaker functions. The computation of the electron pair's LDOS relies on a two-particle Green's function (GF), a generalization of the one-particle GF applicable to a charged particle in an attractive Coulomb potential. By incorporating electron spins and considering the Pauli exclusion principle, the resulting LDOS consists of two components: one originating from an exchange-even two-particle GF and the other from an exchange-odd two-particle GF. The calculated LDOS reveals its dependence on both inter-electron distance and energy. The pseudo-LDOS, derived from the two-body contribution to the LDOS, is examined. This term ensures complete LDOS suppression atr = 0, exhibiting a limited spatial extent, and the reasons for its emergence are elucidated. It is shown that for energies exceeding the effective Hartree energy and inter-electron distances beyond the effective Bohr radius, the impact of many-body contributions to the LDOS can be disregarded. The induced LDOS for an electron pair subjected to an attractive contact potential in two dimensions is evaluated. At small distancesafrom the potential center, a predicted relative difference in LDOS between even and odd state pair reaches approximately 8%. The calculated LDOS is compared with available experimental findings from a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). Both exhibit similar oscillation periods; however, the LDOS of the electron pair decays as1/a3, significantly faster than the1/adecay observed for free electrons in a 2DEG.
