Simple ab-initio method of calculating the cohesive properties of alkali metals

Простой метод определения из первых начал свойств сцепления щелочных металлов

Abstract

The quantum-statistical model of a free atom in which electrons are grouped in shells according to the principal quantum number has been applied to the calculations of the cohesive properties of alkali metals. The cohesive energies and radii of metal cells obtained for Li, Na, and K differ from the experimental values by less than 30%.

Резюме

При вычислении свойств сцепления щелочных металлов применяется квантовостатистическая модель свободного атома, в которой электроны сгруппированы по главным квантовым числам. Энергии сцепления и радиусы металлических ячеек, определенные для Li, Na и K, отличаются от экспериментальных данных менее чем на 30 процентов.
