二维电子气平面电容器的反常大电容

Anomalously large capacitance of a plane capacitor with a two-dimensional electron gas

Brian Skinner, B. I. Shklovskii

摘要:

在二维电子气(2DEG)包括平面电容器的一侧或两侧的电子器件中,所得电容$C$可以大于由电极之间的物理间隔$d$确定的“几何电容”$C_g$。已知这种较大的电容是由低密度2DEG内的各个电子之间的库仑相关性引起的,这导致负的热力学状态密度(负压缩性)。对这种系统的实验通常在2DEG中电子之间的平均间距$n^{-1/2}$小于$d$的情况下进行,并且这些实验仅观察到几个百分点的$C > C_g$。然而,最近的一项实验[1]观察到,当在$nd^2 << 1$状态下运行时,$C$比$C_g$大近40%。在本文中,我们认为,在$nd^2 << 1$的相对电极的电子电荷之间的相关性变得重要。我们发展了一个理论的电容为全范围的$nd^2$。我们表明,在没有无序的情况下,电容可以是$4d/a$倍大于几何值,其中$a << d$是电子玻尔半径。我们的结果与文献[1]中不使用可调参数的实验结果相比是有利的。

英文摘要:

In electronic devices where a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) comprises one or both sides of a plane capacitor, the resulting capacitance $C$ can be larger than the "geometric capacitance" $C_g$ determined by the physical separation $d$ between electrodes. This larger capacitance is known to result from the Coulomb correlations between individual electrons within the low density 2DEG, which lead to a negative thermodynamic density of states (negative compressibility). Experiments on such systems generally operate in the regime where the average spacing between electrons $n^{-1/2}$ in the 2DEG is smaller than $d$, and these experiments observe $C > C_g$ by only a few percent. A recent experiment [1], however, has observed $C$ larger than $C_g$ by almost 40% while operating in the regime $nd^2 << 1$. In this paper we argue that at $nd^2 << 1$ correlations between the electronic charge of opposite electrodes become important. We develop a theory of the capacitance for the full range of $nd^2$. We show that, in the absence of disorder, the capacitance can be $4d/a$ times larger than the geometric value, where $a << d$ is the electron Bohr radius. Our results compare favorably with the experiment of Ref. [1] without the use of adjustable parameters.
