Dielectric function of the semiconductor hole gas

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2010-10-25 v3

Abstract

We study the dielectric function of the homogeneous hole gas in p-doped zinc-blende III-V bulk semiconductors within random phase approximation with the valence band being modeled by Luttinger's Hamiltonian in the spherical approximation. In the static limit we find a beating of Friedel oscillations between the two Fermi momenta for heavy and light holes, while at large frequencies dramatic corrections to the plasmon dispersion occur.
