Dynamical correlations in the one-dimensional electron gas with short-range interactions

We study the dynamical correlation effects in a one-dimensional Fermion gas with repulsive delta-function interaction within the quantum version of the self-consistent field approximation of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sj?lander Phys. Rev. 176, 589 (1968)]. The dynamic correlation effects are described by a frequency dependent local-field correction . There is a corresponding local-field factor for the spin-density correlations. We investigate the structure factors, spin-dependent pair-correlation functions, the frequency dependences of and , and the plasmon dispersion relation within this formalism. We compare our results with other theoretical approaches, in particular the static version of the self-consistent field approximation to highlight the importance of dynamical correlations.
