Abstract

The two formally equivalent kinetic energy functionals of an electron gas in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields give inconsistent results when used in a Gordon-Kim (interacting closed-shell atom) calculation. This inconsistency is a direct measure of the accuracy of the Thomas-Fermi (slowly varying potential) assumption for the system studied.

Highlights

  • The two formally equivalent kinetic energy functionals of an electron gas in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields give inconsistent results when used in a Gordon-Kim calculation

  • This inconsistency is a direct measure of the accuracy of the Thomas-Fermi assumption for the system studied

  • The method of calculation was similar to an earlier calculation of the magnetic susceptibility tensor of 3g u+ H2, which used the ideas of Gordon and Kim [3,4,5]
