title: Molecular dynamics study of a bilayer electron gas: single particle properties.
abstract: The single-particle dynamical properties of a strongly coupled, classical, symmetric electronic bilayer system have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Results for the velocity correlation function, the single-particle scattering function, and their respective Fourier transforms have been calculated, and their behavior, as a function of the interlayer separation d, has been analyzed. The single-particle scattering function in particular, shows dramatic effects when the bilayer attains a staggered square lattice structure. This occurs when the interlayer separation is around 0.8a (a is the Wigner-Seitz radius), where our previous study showed a marked decrease in the diffusion coefficient.
