Abstract. We study the spin correlations in two-and three-dimensional electron liquids within the sum-rule version of the self-consistent field approach of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sjölander. Analytic expressions for the spin-antisymmetric static structure factor and the corresponding local-field correction are obtained with density dependent coefficients. We calculate the spin-dependent pair-correlation functions, paramagnon dispersion, and static spin-response function within the present model, and discuss the spin-density wave instabilities in double-layer electron systems.PACS. 71.10.-w Theories and models of many electron systems -71.45.Gm Exchange, correlation, dielectric and magnetic functions, plasmons -73.20.Dx Electron states in low-dimensional structures (superlattices, quantum well structures and mutlilayers)
