Solutions of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac Statistical Model of Atoms
ResearchPublished 1964
Numerical integration of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac equation on the IBM 701 has been carried out for atomic numbers Z = 1 to 100. Compressed, expanded, and isolated atoms were treated, the latter using the boundary condition suggested by Jensen. Tables of the solutions are given for all isolated atoms and for selected values of Z in the case of compressed and expanded atoms. The physical properties of interest for isolated atoms and the pressure-volume relationship for compressed and expanded atoms are presented in tabular form. Other physical properties are presented graphically.

This publication is part of the RAND paper series. The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
