Abstract:
On the basis of Landau's theory of a Fermi liquid the effect of Coulomb interaction is examined with a view to clarifying how it affects the various effective masses of electrons which are imbedded in the sea of uniform positive charge. By solving the kinetic equation which describes the kinetic evolution of the distribution function of mutually interacting quasi-particles, general expressions are obtained for the complex dielectric constant tensor of an electron “liquid” in terms of Landau's two-particle correlation function. Because of the strictness of this kinetic equation in the sense of many-body correlation effect of the Coulomb interaction, the results obtained are completely rigorous and, contrary to the results of the usual high density expansion, can be applied to real metals (disregarding the fact that the correlation function is considered as being given a priori). Plasmon frequency, attenuation constant of ultrasonic waves, screening constant of the Coulomb interaction, anomalous skin effect, cyclotron resonance frequency and other related problems are discussed from this standpoint. Phenomena of not being affected by the interaction can be definitely settled.
