Abstract

The static local-field factor (LFF) of the 2D electron fluid is calculated nonperturbatively using a mapping to a classical Coulomb fluid ( Phys. Rev. Lett. , 87 (2001) 206404). The LFF for the paramagnetic fluid differs markedly from perturbation theory where a peak near 2 k F is expected. Our LFF has a quasi-linear small- k region leading to a peak close to 3 k F , in agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo data. The structure in the LFF and its dependence on the density and temperature are interpreted as a signature of correlated scattering of electron pairs of opposite spin. The lack of structure at 2 k F implies weakened Friedel oscillations, Kohn anomalies, etc.
