Numerical study of bound states for point charges shielded by the response of a homogeneous two-dimensional electron gas

We study numerically the existence and character of bound states for positive and negative point charges shielded by the response of a two-dimensional homogeneous electron gas. The problem is related to many physical situations and has recently arisen in experiments on impurities on metal surfaces w...

description We study numerically the existence and character of bound states for positive and negative point charges shielded by the response of a two-dimensional homogeneous electron gas. The problem is related to many physical situations and has recently arisen in experiments on impurities on metal surfaces with Shockley surface states. Mathematical theorems ascertain a bound state for two-dimensional circularly symmetric potentials V(r) with ∫∞0drrV(r)⩽0. We find that a shielded potential with ∫∞0drrV(r)>0 may also sustain a bound state. Moreover, on the same footing we study the electron-electron interactions in the two-dimensional electron gas, finding a bound state with an energy minimum for a certain electron gas density.
