Short Range Interaction Effects on the Density of States of Disordered Two Dimensional Crystals with a half--filled band

The Density of electronic States (DoS) of a two--dimensional square lattice with substitutional impurities is calculated in the presence of short--range electron--electron interactions. In the middle of the energy band, the Bragg reflections off the Brillouin zone boundary are shown to lead to additional quantum corrections to the DoS, the sign of which is opposite to the sign of the Altshuler--Aronov's logarithmic correction. The resulting quantum correction to the DoS at half--filling is positive, i.e. the DoS increases logarithmically as the Fermi energy is approached. However, far from the commensurate points where the Bragg reflections are suppressed, the negative logarithmic corrections to the DoS survive.Comment: 5 pages 2 figure

Formation of three-particle clusters in hetero-junctions and MOSFET structures

A novel interaction mechanism in MOSFET structures and $GaAs/AlGaAs$ hetero-junctions between the zone electrons of the two-dimensional (2D) gas and the charged traps on the insulator side is considered. By applying a canonical transformation, off-diagonal terms in the Hamiltonian due to the trapped level subsystem are excluded. This yields an effective three-particle attractive interaction as well as a pairing interaction inside the 2D electronic band. A type of Bethe- Goldstone equation for three particles is studied to clarify the character of the binding and the energy of the three-particle bound states. The results are used to offer a possible explanation of the Metal-Insulator transition recently observed in MOSFET and hetero-junctions.Comment: 4 page

Mesoscopic fluctuations of the Density of States and Conductivity in the middle of the band of Disordered Lattices

The mesoscopic fluctuations of the Density of electronic States (DoS) and of the conductivity of two- and three- dimensional lattices with randomly distributed substitutional impurities are studied. Correlations of the levels lying above (or below) the Fermi surface, in addition to the correlations of the levels lying on opposite sides of the Fermi surface, take place at half filling due to nesting. The Bragg reflections mediate to increase static fluctuations of the conductivity in the middle of the band which change the distribution function of the conductivity at half- filling.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Comment on ``Density of States of Disordered Two-Dimensional Crystals with Half-Filled Band''

In a recent letter (PRL 84, 3930 (2000)) Nakhmedov et al. claimed that the Van Hove singularity at $\epsilon=0$ in the density of states (DoS) of the two-dimensional crystal with half-filled tight-binding band survives the addition of substitutional impurities. This derivation suffers from several inconsistencies. We resolve them and show that the DoS at the band center is finite, as one might naively expect

Exactly solvable model of three interacting particles in an external magnetic field

The quantum mechanical problem of three identical particles, moving in a plane and interacting pairwise via a spring potential, is solved exactly in the presence of a magnetic field. Calculations of the pair--correlation function, mean distance and the cluster area show a quantization of these parameters. Especially the pair-correlation function exhibits a certain number of maxima given by a quantum number. We obtain Jastrow pre-factors which lead to an exchange correlation hole of liquid type, even in the presence of the attractive interaction between the identical electrons.Comment: 8 pages 3 figure
