Variational relativistic correction to the Thomas-Fermi model of atoms
A relativistic correction to the Thomas-Fermi model of atoms is obtained by utilizing the variational solutions proposed by Csavinszky [Phys. Rev. 166 (1968) 53]. The relativistic effect appears important for heavier elements, and our correction improves the ionization energies more noticeably with...
