Renormalization factor and effective mass of the two-dimensional electron gas

arXiv:0810.2450 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.79.041308

Abstract

We calculate the momentum distribution of the Fermi liquid phase of the homogeneous, two-dimensional electron gas. We show that, close to the Fermi surface, the momentum distribution of a finite system with electrons approaches its thermodynamic limit slowly, with leading order corrections scaling as . These corrections dominate the extrapolation of the renormalization factor, , and the single particle effective mass, , to the infinite system size. We show how convergence can be improved analytically. In the range , we get a lower renormalization factor and a higher effective mass, , compared to the perturbative RPA values.
