Abstract

The classical-map hyper-netted-chain (CHNC) scheme, developed for treating fermion fluids at strong coupling and at finite temperatures, is applied to electron-electron and electron-hole double quantum wells. The pair distribution functions and the local field factors needed in linear response theory are determined for a range of temperatures, carrier densities, and barrier widths typical for experimental double quantum well systems in GaAs-GaAlAs. For electron-hole double quantum wells, a large enhancement in the pair distribution functions is found for small carrier separations. The CHNC equations for electron-hole systems no longer hold at low densities where bound-state formation occurs.
