Tas, M.Tanatar, Bilal2016-02-082016-02-0820081098-0121http://hdl.handle.net/11693/23002We calculate the collective excitation modes of strongly coupled bilayer charged Bose systems. We employ the dielectric matrix formulation to study the correlation effects within the random-phase approximation (RPA), the self consistent field approximation Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sjölander (STLS), and the quasilocalized charge approximation (QLCA), which satisfies the third-frequency-moment (〈ω3〉) sum rule. We find that the QLCA predicts a long-wavelength correlation-induced energy gap in the out-of-phase plasmon mode, similar to the situation in electronic bilayer systems. The energy gap and the plasmon density of states are studied as a function of interlayer separation and coupling parameter rs. The results should be helpful for experimental investigations.EnglishArticle10.1103/PhysRevB.78.115324
