Abstract

In two-dimensional (2D) electron systems, the viscous flow is dominant when electron-electron collisions occur more frequently than the impurity or phonon scattering. In this work, a quantum hydrodynamic model, considering viscosity, is proposed to investigate the interaction of a charged particle moving above the two-dimensional viscous electron gas. The stopping power, perturbed electron gas density, and the spatial distribution of the velocity vector field have been theoretically analyzed and numerically calculated. The calculation results show that viscosity affects the spatial distribution and amplitude of the velocity field. The stopping power, which is an essential quantity for describing the interactions of ions with the 2D electron gas, is calculated, indicating that the incident particle will suffer less energy loss due to the weakening of the dynamic electron polarization and induced electric field in 2D electron gas with the viscosity. The values of the stopping power may be more accurate after considering the effect of viscosity. Our results may open up new possibilities to control the interaction of ions with 2D electron gas in the surface of metal or semiconductor heterostructure by variation of the viscosity.

1. Introduction

The interaction of charged particles with matter is an essential issue for a variety of physical systems, which has been a subject of extensive research since the discovery of subatomic particles [1]. Especially, the interests in surface physics are at the focus of much current research on charged particles interacting with two-dimensional (2D) electron gases [2–5]. Most intriguing is perhaps energy loss, i.e., so-called stopping power and the perturbed electron gas density induced by the charged particle in the interaction process [6–9]. Studying the stopping power of charged particle in dense plasmas is crucial for applications in high energy density physics [10, 11] and fundamental plasma physics [7, 12, 13], which can help us to make an accurate understanding of ion beam transport. Additionally, in ion beam analysis, where the stopping power of detected projectiles is the common observable quantity, the specific stopping power can obtain accurate depth perception [14]. Furthermore, the information given by the energy loss process in plasma is crucial for characterization and surface modification schemes [15–17] of the 2D system using projectiles in the matter as a powerful tool.

Stopping power is a measure of the ability of a material to slow down energetic particles that travel above the 2D sheet and 3D bulk [18]. When a charged particle moves with constant velocity near to a 2D sheet, the charged particle loses its kinetic energy, and the electron gas density of the 2D sheet is perturbed due to ionization and excitation of the electrons [19]. The stopping power, i.e., the energy lost per unit path length, is a substantial quantity used to predict and understand the effects of particle radiation in the matter, ion ranges, and the energy deposited [20–22]. There have been many works, both theoretical and experimental, investigating the stopping power [23–27]. Horing first investigated the energy loss of the fast particle moving parallel to the two-dimensional plasma sheet with a fixed distance by using the random-phase approximation (RPA) theory [28]. Apart from RPA theory, much work was carried out to study the stopping power by using the dielectric and binary collision theories [29–31], the quantum scattering theory [32], and the local field correction (LFC) [33, 34]. In addition, the density functional theory [35, 36], the first principles [18], and the particle-in-cell (PIC) and molecular dynamics (MD) [19, 37–38]were also adopted to study the interaction process between the ions and plasma. Recently, some progress has been made in the experimental study of the stopping power. J. Ren and coworkers [11] have performed an experiment to demonstrate the existence of collective effects, for high-density beam, leading to enhanced stopping. Their results play an important role in the optimum design of ion-driven inertial confinement fusion and fast ignition schemes. The importance of excited projectile states has been reported by Y. Zhao et al. [13] in the stopping process, providing significant support for the relevant research like the atomic process in the solar wind.

So far, with technological development in the area of miniaturized devices and the advances in nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic materials containing fully degenerated electrons have recently received renewed attention [39–42]. The quantum mechanical effects for the theoretical description of quantum plasma must be taken into account. For accurately understanding the dynamics of 2D quantum electron gas, the use of the quantum hydrodynamic model (QHD) is required, which was developed by solving the nonlinear Schrödinger–Poisson or the Wigner–Poisson kinetic models [43, 44]. Also, based on this model, both the quantum statistical and quantum diffraction effects have been proved to play an essential role in studying the interactions of charged particles with the quantum electron gas [45–48].

Interactions between particles in quantum many-body systems can bring about the collective behavior described by hydrodynamics. Some new features in the two-dimensional electron gas of the hydrodynamic regime will be produced on the condition that the typical length scale of electron-electron scattering is shorter than those of electron-disorder and electron-phonon scatterings , i.e., . Under these conditions, the electrons show the trend of collective motion, and the electron transport is dominated by the viscosity [49]. In other words, in materials in which electrons strongly interact with each other or with phonons, electron transport is thought to be similar to viscous flows [50]. Furthermore, when electron-electron collisions occur more frequently than the impurity or phonon scattering, the viscous current is expected to be dominant [51]. For example, in graphene, which hosts a unique electron system, the electron-phonon scattering is extremely weak, but electron-electron collisions are sufficiently frequent to provide the local equilibrium above the temperature of liquid nitrogen. In this instance, the electrons can behave as a viscous flow and exhibit hydrodynamic phenomena similar to classical flows [52].

Recently, experiments on [50, 51] and have many features demonstrating the viscous flow of electrons. The shear forces caused by the viscosity at the channel walls result in a nonuniform velocity profile, so that the electrical resistivity becomes a function of the channel width, suggesting a viscosity-induced dependence of the electrical resistivity on the sample width [50]. Moreover, compared with the Ohmic flow of the particles in a mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gas in a quantum well in the hydrodynamic regime [51], the viscosity can cause backflow of the current and negative nonlocal voltage. In addition, the experimental results of Gusev G et al. confirm the theoretically predicted significance of viscous flow in mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gas [53]. Then, they studied experimentally an electronic analog of the Stokes flow around a disc immersed in a two-dimensional viscous liquid of the quantum wells. The results confirm theoretical predictions and open up the possibility of controlling the current in the microstructure by changing the viscosity [54]. Moreover, a series of updated theoretical approaches have been published [55–58] considering a vicious system. Meanwhile, the viscous quantum hydrodynamic model has been used for many studies, such as the quantum semiconductor devices [59–61], nonlinear plasma oscillations [62] and the Jeans self-gravitational instability for dense quantum viscous plasma [63].

However, to the best of our knowledge, viscosity in the two-dimensional quantum electron gas (2DQEG) effect has not been considered in beam-2DQEG interactions. Thus, an interesting question arises: How is the strength of the stopping power changed in the viscous 2D quantum electron gases? In this work, the main aim is to study the interaction between charged particles and 2D quantum electron gases in viscosity. We propose a revised quantum hydrodynamic model for a viscous two-dimensional quantum electron based on the model obtained in reference [64]. The outline of the study is as follows. In Section 2, we introduce our quantum hydrodynamic model and then derive the analytical expressions of the stopping power, the perturbed density, and the velocity vector field of perturbed electron gas based on revised QHD. In Section 3, numerical results of the perturbed density, spatial distribution of the velocity field, and the stopping power are discussed in different conditions. Moreover, we present the viscosity impacts on these quantities. Finally, a summary is given in Section 4. Gauss units will be adopted throughout the study.

2. Quantum Hydrodynamic Model

2.1. The Viscosity Coefficient

In the hydrodynamic regime, electronic dynamics is dominated by viscosity, rather than impurity scatting [56]. The electron flow in which numerous target nuclei are suspended (forming a suspension-like) may be regarded as a homogeneous medium. Such a medium has an effective viscosity [65]. In the present work, we neglect the compressibility, the thermal conductivity effects, and magnetic and temperature effects. Viscosity is solely characterized by momentum relaxation in fluid. It should be noted that in general, the electron viscosity is not necessarily related to electron-electron collisions. Any process providing the relaxation of the second moment of the electron distribution function leads to viscosity. Thus, the viscosity coefficient is proportional to the second-order relaxation time [55].where is the Fermi velocity. Additionally, is the interelectron relaxation rate, while , being the “residual” relaxation rate of the shear stress at owing to scattering of electrons on disorder, is not related to the electron-electron collisions [55, 66]. The temperature effect is not considered here, i.e., . Furthermore, the character of the viscous flow strongly depends on the geometry and probe configurations of the sample in general. For instance, the velocity field in a curved pipe flow becomes more nonuniform than in a straight pipe, which may enhance the viscosity effect [53]. In principle, a range of viscosity values is to be expected in different electron flows [67]. For a typical system of the viscous flow, the high-quality quantum wells with the electron density , , or , the following fitting parameters, , , or , are used in references [51, 53, 55]. The viscosity coefficient values of two well-known 2D electron flows, quantum wells at 1.4 K of two different configurations and graphene, are , , and [51–53], respectively, an order of magnitude higher than that of honey. For comparison, liquid honey has typical viscosities of – [52]. The is related to the temperature and density of the material. is also the function of density dependent on the material character. Therefore, when the temperature takes a certain value, the value of for the corresponding range can be obtained by giving the value of the density function , as reported in [66].

Consequently, as for , we can set the values of in the range between and at , since the characteristic time (inverse of the electron plasma frequency ) is about s. According to reference [66], the shear stress relaxation rate as the function of temperature for the quantum well was presented for the density , which increases from the order of to with increasing temperature . Therefore, as for , the order of – can be related with the graphene, , and thin metal film for corresponding carrier concentrations of the order of , , and – [47, 52, 68], the carrier concentrations of which can be changed by doping and other methods.

As a result, the corresponding viscosity in the case assumed by this work can take values of , , , and . As follows, the influence of the viscous effect (1) is considered for the modified expressions of the perturbed density, the stopping power, and the velocity vector field of the perturbed electron gas.

2.2. Derivation of the Fluid Model

We consider an idealized 2DEG with an equilibrium density, = = , which is composed of free electrons and motionless ions. The region is the vacuum. A particle of charge moves with constant velocity parallel to 2DEG along the axis with density , where , , and is the distance from the plane, described in a Cartesian coordinate system with , as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, the homogeneous 2DEG will be perturbed by the charged particle and can be regarded as a charged viscous fluid with velocity field and the electron gas density (per unit area) .

By employing the linearized quantum hydrodynamic model of the incompressible viscous fluid, the electronic excitation on the 2DEG surface can be described by the continuity equation asthe momentum-balance equation asand Poisson’s equation aswhere is the electron mass, is the elementary charge, and is the Planck constant divided by . It is worth noting that, in (2) and (3), , which is used to describe the quantum electron gas surface, is different from unrestricted in (4) and . In addition, the viscosity is taken into account through the coefficient of viscosity . is the total potential which consisted of the external potential of the moving charged particle and the induced potential, , generated by the perturbation of the electron gas density on the 2DEG surface. In the right-hand side of (3), the first term is the force on electrons of the electron gas surface given by the tangential component of the electric field. The second and third terms are regarded as the quantum effects due to the internal interactions in the electron species and the quantum pressure, where , being the Fermi energy of 2DEG. The fourth term is the frictional force on electrons, owing to the positive charge background, with being the frictional coefficient, while the last term, , is the viscous force result from the electron gas at different speeds, where is the viscosity coefficient.

There is a weak perturbation in 2DEG by the moving charged particles. Hence, we can linearize the above equations by assuming the density, velocity field, and the potential written as , , , and , where , and represent the first-order perturbed values of the density, velocity, and potential. The linearized equations of the electronic excitation on the electron gas surface are obtained as follows:

We adopt the time-space Fourier transform:where stands for any of the above-listed perturbed quantities, and is the wave vector. By using the Fourier transform in (5), (6), and (7), we can readily obtain the perturbed , the induced potential , and the velocity field of perturbed electron gas:where , with , Bohr radius , Fermi velocity , Fermi wave number , Fermi wave length , electron plasma frequency , and the 2D wave vector . In addition, the direction of the projectile velocity is along with the axis, for which , so that we can obtain .

For convenience, we introduce the dimensionless variables: , , , , , , , and //, where stands for any quantity of length. By using the dimensionless variables above, (9), (10), (11a) and (11b) can be reduced towhere , , , , and , andis the dimensionless . Besides, is the so-called Wigner radius as the function of density dependent on the material.

The stopping power originates from the induced potential:

Thus, we can obtain the expression of the dimensionless stopping power:where , . The form of dimensionless equations (12), (13), (14a), (14b), and (17) obtained above are similar to reference [64], but the internal forms are different, as reflected in the fact that the imaginary part of takes into account the viscous effect .

In the next section, the results of the perturbed electrons gas density, the velocity vector field of the perturbed electron gas, and the stopping power are obtained numerically according to (12), (14a), (14b), and (17), respectively, where the MATLAB solver function (integral2 function) is used to solve the double integral. Referring to [64] for parameter selection, we take the charge number of the incident particle is a proton , the friction coefficient , the height , and kept fixed throughout the study. The QHD method is suitable to calculate the stopping power for higher particle velocities greater than the Bohr velocity, as discussed in our previous work [69]. Thus, for the velocity of the incident particle, we start from .

3. Numerical Results

3.1. The Perturbed Electron Density

We have solved (12) numerically for the values of the plasma configuration parameters and in the case of with and without viscosity. The results are shown in Figure 2, showing the distribution of perturbed electron gas density (normalized by ). Then, how the perturbed density of the electron gas is impacted by viscosity will be discussed. Equation (1) shows that the viscosity coefficient is a function of the relaxation time , linearly increasing as increases. To examine the effects of the viscosity on the perturbation of the electron gas, we plot Figure 2 for four relaxation time values ( = , , , and ) with and . Note that, as increases (namely, increases), the oscillation amplitudes of the perturbed density decrease, and then, finally, the peak is suppressed and disappears gradually. We can also see in Figure 2 that the perturbed region becomes smaller when increases. This is because when the incident particles move above 2DEG, part energy of the incident particles is dissipated by the viscous effect, leading to a decrease in the energy that makes the electron gas movement. It can be clearly seen that electron density perturbation is significantly suppressed at high viscosity.

The comparison of the perturbed electron gas density for the different moving speeds (, , , , and ) is shown in Figure 3 with three relaxation time values ( = , , and ). In the case of low viscosity shown in Figure 3(a), one can find that the curves of the perturbed electron gas density demonstrate an obvious difference for spatial change, which indicates that the projectile speed has a strong influence on the wake-field. The number of wake-field oscillations excited behind the incident particles decreases with increasing velocity. The maximum values decrease in magnitude with the increasing , and its position shifts toward lower values. The trend of this change shows good agreement with the conclusion in reference [45], which also showed the decrease in the maximum values and the number of wake-field oscillations. Figures 3(b) and 3(c) show the curves of the perturbed electron gas density for different viscosities with and , showing similar change tendencies with those in Figure 3(a) for fixed . However, as shown in Figures 3(b) and 3(c), an interesting phenomenon appears when the incident particle moves along direction with a certain speed in different values of the viscosity, in which the strength of the perturbed electron gas density decreases and the perturbed region become smaller as viscosity increases, which is in agreement with that shown in Figure 2. At a fixed incident particle velocity, the curve exhibits multiple wake-field oscillations behind the particle with low viscosity, while the oscillations vanish with high viscosity.

3.2. The Spatial Distribution of the Velocity Vector Field

Figures 4 and 5 show the spatial distribution of the velocity vector field of perturbed electron gas for different incident particle speeds to further understand the influence of viscosity. We first show in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) the spatial distribution of the velocity vector field with , , and . One can see from Figures 4(a) and 4(b) that the wake-field is almost axially symmetric about the axis, compared with those in the case of considering the viscosity shown in Figure 4(b), in which the V-shaped cones structures lag slightly behind the incident particles, along with fewer oscillatory lateral wakes. Besides, we also observe that these structures are composed of multiple cones, which become fewer in consideration of the viscosity. However, the magnitude of the velocity vector field can be also determined by the viscosity, which can be inferred from (14a) and (14b) in the imaginary part of . Thus, the magnitude of the velocity field of the electrons in the wake-field region is shown in Figures 4(c) and 4(d). The main features observed in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are shown in Figures 4(c) and 4(d). Moreover, the maximum value of is suppressed when the viscosity is taken into account, indicating the viscosity makes the electron gas more difficult to be disturbed. These characteristics closely resemble the spatial distribution of perturbed electron gas density .

As demonstrated above, viscosity affects the spatial distribution and affects the maximum value of the velocity vector field. Thus, such a viscosity effect on the velocity vector of the perturbed electron gas is shown in Figures 5(a)–5(c) with viscosity for different relaxation times , , and with . From Figure 5(a), we can see that in the low-viscosity case , the characteristics closely resemble the case of without considering the viscosity in Figure 4(a). The similar cone structures of the velocity field and invariably symmetrical spatial distributions concerning the axis are still reproduced in the wake-field regions, showing the evident dynamic polarization of the perturbed electron gas. The same pattern has also been found in reference [19], in which the dynamic polarization of perturbed electrons becomes obvious with increasing magnetic field. However, as shown in Figures 5(b) and 5(c) with the increasing viscosity, the opening cone angles of the V-shaped wake-field decrease, and the oscillation tails disappear gradually, showing the wakening of the dynamic polarization, which is completely different from the velocity distribution under the influence of magnetic field that the dynamic polarization is enhanced as the magnetic field increases [19]. It can be concluded that the movement of the perturbed electron gas is increasingly restricted under the influence of viscosity. In this case, the electrons cannot fully respond to the disturbance from the incident particles, giving rise to the reduction in the wake region.

3.3. Stopping Power

The viscosity significantly impacts the density and velocity vector field of the perturbed electron gas. As a result, such an influence can also be seen in the stopping power, as shown in Figure 6, showing how the electronic stopping character is impacted by viscosity. The influence of viscosity is reflected clearly in Figure 6 where the stopping power is plotted as a function of velocity for the same condition shown in Figure 2. The main features observed in the perturbed density are reproduced in the stopping power. With the increasing values shown in Figure 6, at the high-velocity region, the two curves for the stopping power show agreement with each other, while at the low-velocity region, the peak values of the stopping power get weaker, showing less energy loss from projectiles. Besides, note that the peak position of the stopping power shifts mainly to the lower-velocity region with the viscosity. Finally, the peak is limited to become a broad plateau, indicating that the energy loss of the particle is hardly influenced by the viscosity when the viscosity reaches a considerable value. The above results are entirely different from those in reference [19], in which the significant enhancement of the stopping power has been observed with the increasing magnetic field. Therefore, one can expect that the differences of the results between the two situations of with and without viscosity are due to the action of the viscosity on the perturbed electron gas density and velocity vector field in the plane at their distribution and magnitude, which can be seen in parts of the perturbed electron density and the spatial distribution of the velocity vector field.

4. Summary

The purpose of this study was first to derive a self-consistent quantum hydrodynamic model that incorporates quantum and viscosity effects. Then, two-dimensional simulations are performed to investigate the interaction of the moving charged particle with 2DQEG, taking into account the viscosity based on the QHD model. Special attention is paid to the influences of the viscosity during interaction. The analytical expressions of the perturbed electron density, the velocity vector field in 2DQEG, and the stopping power have been derived based on the assumption of the linear disturbance. Results show that the viscosity effect suppresses the perturbation of the electron gas density and velocity vector field in the two-dimensional plane. As for considering the viscosity effect, our simulation results show that the oscillatory behaviors of the perturbed density and velocity vector field turn up in the case of small viscosity and then disappear gradually with the increasing of the viscosity. Besides, the magnitude of the wake-field decreases, and the perturbed regions caused by the moving particles get smaller due to the restriction on electron motion as the viscosity increases. The same trend is reproduced as the velocity of the incident particle increases. Furthermore, the perturbed density may change locally without changing in the surroundings due to the action of the viscous term [70]. The results indicate that the wake-field oscillation amplitude will decrease, and the incident particle will suffer less energy loss as the viscosity has been taken into account. Furthermore, in the stopping power calculation, the charged particle will suffer less energy loss.

In conclusion, viscosity not only affects the spatial distribution but also affects the magnitude. This is because the existence of the viscous term makes the electron gas less likely to be disturbed, resulting in the weakening of the electron polarization. In other words, due to the presence of a viscous effect, the average flow velocity of the electron gas is reduced, and the viscous flows may show a peculiar behavior that self-organizes into streams with different speeds. As a result, the distribution and magnitude of the disturbing electron gas are changed, giving rise to the reduction in the stopping power.

In summary, the model proposed in this study can be used in any system with two-dimensional electron gas such as the two-dimensional monovalent layered metal [67], graphene [52], and the quantum wells [55]. What is more, viscosity term is a key quantity in the hydrodynamic regime, which could change the interaction mechanism of ions and a quantum 2DEG, such a 2DEG can be performed in various modern developments in the field of semiconductor heterostructures [71], nanoscale objects such as nanowires, quantum dot, the metal surface at the nanoscale [47], and graphene [72]. The viscosity in 2D electron fluid can offer a promising opportunity to use various scanning probes to estimate the stopping power for surface detecting. Likewise, we can also estimate viscosity by measuring the stopping power. Furthermore, hydrodynamic characteristics, i.e., the viscosity of the 2D electron fluid, can be particularly enhanced by tuning the configuration or doping of the samples to change the electron gas density to achieve the purpose of stopping power modulation. Furthermore, the viscous effects can promote high mobility transmission at elevated temperatures, which is a potentially useful behavior for designing graphene-based devices [73]. Consequently, for our future study, we would like to extend the present work on the presence of external magnetic fields under high temperatures.
