Temperature dependent effective mass renormalization in 2D electron systems

Abstract

We calculate, as a function of temperature and density, the electron-electron interaction induced quasiparticle effective mass renormalization in 2D electron systems within the leading-order dynamically screened Coulomb interaction expansion. We find an unexpected nonanalyticity and nonmonotonicity in the temperature dependent effective mass with the renormalized mass linearly increasing with temperature at low temperatures for all densities.
