On the Question of the Existence of One-Dimensional Multielectron Atoms

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The semiclassical Thomas–Fermi method of calculating the electrostatic field of a multielectron atom is modified for effectively one-dimensional atoms. The main Thomas–Fermi equation and the dimensionless, one-dimensional Thomas–Fermi equation are obtained, and it is shown that within the framework of the method “one-dimensional” neutral multielectron atoms cannot exist.
