MAGNETIC MOMENT OF 2-DIMENSIONAL AND 3-DIMENSIONAL MANY-ELECTRON SYSTEMS EXAMINED WITH DEPENDENCE ON A COMMON SIZE PARAMETER
Keyword(s):
The orbital magnetic moments induced by a constant magnetic field in a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) electron gas are calculated on the same footing independent of the conventional method based on statistical thermodynamics. The dependence of the moment on a common size parameter — defined as the cubic root of the volume occupied by one electron in a 3D gas — is found to be a similar monotonic function for both kinds of electron gas. This monotonic dependence is compared with the oscillating function of the size parameter obtained for the magnetic moment calculated in the case of a 2D slice of the tightly-bound s-electron states in a simple-cubic, or body-centred cubic, lattice.
