Abstract

Static polarizabilities of various closed-shell atoms are calculated using linear response theory in the relativistic local density approximation, with special attention to atoms of high nuclear charge. For atoms with closed outer np subshells the resulting values are found to be in good agreement with other determinations. For atoms with closed outer ns subshells the present values are considerably smaller than those from relativistic random-phase approximation calculations and in better agreement with recommended values.
