Abstract :
We demonstrate a replacement of the non-uniform sub-band density of quasi-2D electron layers by an effective uniform-slab density. Exchange, correlation and Fermi-liquid properties are determined via a mapping of the electron liquid to a classical fluid, using the hyper-netted-chain equation inclusive of bridge corrections, (i.e. the CHNC), as a function of the density, spin-polarization, layer width and the temperature. Our parameters-free theory is in good accord with quantum simulations, with effective-mass and spin-susceptibility results for 2D layers found in GaAs/AlGaAs structures.
