Abstract

In the present work the total energy of a Ne atom at T = 0 K is calculated as a function of a spherical container radius. The calculation is based on the Thomas–Fermi (TF) equation, which is solved approximately by an equivalent variational principle. The effect of an approximate exchange correction on the variational TF energy values is investigated.

## Abstract A temperature correction to the Thomas–Fermi (TF) model of a neutral compressed atom has been given by Marshak and Bethe. The aim of the present work is to point out that, by formulating a variational principle, one may obtain approximate analytical solutions of the temperature‐perturbe
