AbstractWe consider the stability of the circular Fermi surface of a two-dimensional electron gas system against an elliptical deformation induced by an anisotropic Coulomb interaction potential. We use the jellium approximation for the neutralizing background and treat the electrons as fully spin-polarized (spinless) particles with a constant isotropic (effective) mass. The anisotropic Coulomb interaction potential considered in this work is inspired from studies of two-dimensional electron gas systems in the quantum Hall regime. We use a Hartree–Fock procedure to obtain analytical results for two special Fermi liquid quantum electronic phases. The first one corresponds to a system with circular Fermi surface while the second one corresponds to a liquid anisotropic phase with a specific elliptical deformation of the Fermi surface that gives rise to the lowest possible potential energy of the system. The results obtained suggest that, for the most general situations, neither of these two Fermi liquid phases represent the lowest energy state of the system within the framework of the family of states considered in this work. The lowest energy phase is one with an optimal elliptical deformation whose specific value is determined by a complex interplay of many factors including the density of the system.

We argue that, due to the specific form of the interaction potential between electronic guiding centers, a bubble crystal (BC) with basis may be energetically more favorable than the usual bubble solid. This new BC has well-defined normal eigenmodes, and remains energetically favorable when the effects of finite sample thickness and of screening by electrons in lower LLs are taken into account.

It is shown that the reduction of the circular quantum oscillator by the Z2 group action results in the two systems: a two-dimensional hydrogen atom, and a “charge-charged magnetic vortex” one, with spin-1/2. Analogously, the ZN reduction of the two-dimensional system with the central potential r2(N–1) results into N bound “charge-magnetic vertex” systems with the interaction potential r2(1/N–1) and spins [Formula: see text]k = 0, 1,…, N - 1.

At micro/nanoscale, the interaction potential between parabolic rotator and a particle located outside the rotator is studied on the basis of the negative exponential pair potential1/Rnbetween particles. Similar to two-dimensional curved surfaces, we confirm that the potential of the three-dimensional parabolic rotator and outside particle can also be expressed as a unified form of curvatures; that is, it can be written as the function of curvatures. Furthermore, we verify that the driving forces acting on the particle may be induced by the highly curved micro/nano-parabolic rotator. Curvatures and the gradient of curvatures are the essential elements forming the driving forces. Through the idealized numerical experiments, the accuracy of the curvature-based potential is preliminarily proved.
