Description
Starting from the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) prediction for the ground-state energy of a clean two-dimensional one-valley (2D1V) electron gas, we estimate the energy correction due to scattering sources present in actual devices such as AlAs quantum wells and GaAs heterostructures. We find that the effect of uncorrelated disorder, in the lowest (second) order in perturbation theory, is to enhance the spin susceptibility leading to its eventual divergence. In the density region where the Born approximation is able to reproduce the experimental mobility, the prediction for the spin susceptibility yielded by perturbation theory is in very good agreement with the available experimental evidence.
