Upper bounds of spin-density wave energies in the homogeneous electron gas

Studying the jellium model in the Hartree-Fock approximation, Overhauser has shown that spin density waves (SDW) can lower the energy of the Fermi gas, but it is still unknown if these SDW are actually relevant for the phase diagram. In this paper, we give a more complete description of SDW states. We show that a modification of the Overhauser ansatz explains the behavior of the jellium at high density compatible with previous Hartree-Fock simulations.

Properties of Hartree-Fock solutions of the three-dimensional electron gas

In a previous letter, L. Baguet et al., (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 111}, 166402 (2013)), we presented the ground state phase diagram of the homogeneous electron gas in three dimensions within the Hartree-Fock approximation yielding incommensurate crystal states at high density. Here, we analyze the properties of these solutions. In particular, at high density we find universal behavior of the incommensurate crystal strongly supporting the existence of a spin density wave ground state.

The Hartree-Fock phase diagram of the two-dimensional electron gas

We calculate the ground state phase diagram of the homogeneous electron gas in two dimensions within the Hartree-Fock approximation. At high density, we find stable solutions, where the electronic charge and spin density form an incommensurate crystal having more crystal sites than electrons, whereas the commensurate Wigner crystal is favored at lower densities, rs> 1.22. Our explicit calculations demonstrate that the homogeneous Fermi liquid state -- though being an exact stationary solution of the Hartree-Fock equations -- is never the Hartree-Fock ground state of the electron gas.
