Abstract

We consider the quasi-particle properties such as the effective mass and spin susceptibility of quasi-two-dimensional electron systems. The finite quantum well width effects are incorporated into the local-field factors that describe the charge and spin correlations. We employ the Fermi-hypernetted chain formalism in conjunction with fluctuation-dissipation theorem to obtain the local-field factors. Our results are in good agreement with recent experiments.
