Many-body effects in spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas

Many-body effects on the spin polarization are studied in an n channel inversion layer on Si (1 0 0) surface in a magnetic field parallel to the surface in random phase approximation. The spin polarization exhibits a discrete jump to a full polarization at the critical magnetic field in the low-density regime and the critical field is reduced considerably from that estimated by an extrapolation based on the zero-field susceptibility.
