| dc.description | We calculate the Coulomb scattering amplitude for two electrons injected with opposite momenta in an interacting 2DEG. We include the effect of the Fermi liquid background by solving the 2D Bethe-Salpeter equation for the two-particle Green function vertex, in the ladder and random phase approximations. This result is used to discuss the feasibility of producing spin EPR pairs in a 2DEG by collecting electrons emerging from collisions at a pi/2 scattering angle, where only the entangled spin-singlets avoid the destructive interference resulting from quantum indistinguishability. Furthermore, we study the effective 2D electron-electron interaction due to the exchange of virtual acoustic and optical phonons, and compare it to the Coulomb interaction. Finally, we show that the 2D Kohn-Luttinger pairing instability for the scattering electrons is negligible in a GaAs 2DEG. | |
