Line ratio of $3d-2p$ transition lines in boron-like spectra of Si X, S XII, Ar XIV and Fe XXII has been investigated. Collisional-radiative model calculations reveal that the line ratio is sensitive to the electron density in ranges of…

We report measurements of the spin susceptibility and the electron effective mass for two-dimensional electrons confined at the interfaces of MgxZn1-xO/ZnO single heterostructures (x = 0.05, 0.08, and 0.11), grown by molecular-beam epitaxy…

In a two-dimensional electron gas, the electron-electron interaction generally becomes stronger at lower carrier densities and renormalizes the Fermi liquid parameters such as the effective mass of carriers. We combine experiment and theory…

Electron-electron interactions play a critical role in many condensed matter phenomena, and it is tempting to find a way to control them by changing the interactions' strength. One possible approach is to place a studied system in proximity…

Plasmons in two-dimensional electron systems with nonparabolic bands, such as graphene, feature strong dependence on electron-electron interactions. We use a many-body approach to relate plasmon dispersion at long wavelengths to Landau…
