We use the self-consistent field method to calculate the intra and interlayer local-field factors Gij(q,T) which embody the short-range correlation effects. We calculate the transresistivity using the screened effective interlayer interactions that result from incorporating these local-field factors within various approximation schemes. Our results suggest that dynamic (frequency dependent) correlations play an important role in enhancing the Coulomb drag rate.EnglishCorrelationsCoulomb drag effectEffective interactionsCorrelation methodsFrequenciesElectron gasConference Paper10.1016/S1386-9477(02)01069-X
