On the atomic binding energy in the Thomas-Fermi model

  • 1. Department of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Atomic Physics, Magurele-Bucharest MG-6, POBox MG-35, (Romania)

Description

The empirical binding energy -16Z''7''/''3 eV of heavy atoms is computed by a Hartree-type correction to a linearized version of the Thomas-Fermi model; the computations are carried out by means of a variational approach. Corrections to the exchange energy are also estimated. (authors)
