  Abstract:
We study the effects of disorder scattering on the ground-state energy of a two-dimensional electron system. Considering charged impurity scattering within the mode-coupling approximation to the memory function formalism, we calculate the correlation effects using a self-consistent field approach. In a different model, we also treat the disorder effects phenomenologically. The exchange, correlation, and ground-state energies and the compressibility are calculated for both models. In terms of the compressibility both models have similar predictions in the high-density region. The mode-coupling theory results at lower density are in better qualitative agreement with the experimental findings.
