We present an effective theory describing the low-energy properties of an interacting 2D electron gas at large non-integer filling factors $\nu\gg 1$. Assuming that the interaction is sufficiently weak, $r_s < 1$, we integrate out all the…
Motivated by recent suggestions --to split the electron-electron interaction into a short-range part, to be treated within the density functional theory, and a long-range part, to be handled by other techniques-- we compute, with a…
Semilocal density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy are needed for large electronic systems. The Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) is semilocal and usefully accurate, but…
