Title: THERMAL PROPERTIES OF INTERACTING ELECTRON GAS IN A HARMONIC POTENTIAL
Abstract: In this work, the thermal properties, such as total energy, pressure and free energy of an interacting electron gas system have been investigated. The Thomas–Fermi equation was numerically solved for a harmonically confined, two-dimensional gas system at finite temperatures. Numerical results were compared with analytical ones provided by the literature for a non-interacting case at finite temperatures and for a interacting case at T = 0 K . Excellent agreement was achieved for both cases. The results indicate that interactions affect the density of particles and hence, the density-dependent thermal functions significantly.
