A radially restricted Thomas–Fermi theory for atoms

摘要: A new approach to the correction of inaccuracies Thomas–Fermi theory as applied atoms is developed, in which exact angular part energy eigenfunctions are accepted and statistical treatment restricted radial motion. The Langer used represent quantum depletion electron density close nucleus. Orbital eigenvalues assigned by a quantization scheme produces energies for noninteracting electrons. Self‐interaction spin polarization allowed for. predicted total correct about 4% first 20 atoms. Ionization densities also discussed.
