Abstract
A new method to calculate thermodynamically consistent shell corrections in a wide range of parameters is used to predict the region of validity of the Thomas-Fermi approach. The method is applicable both at low and high density. Thermodynamic functions of electrons calculated by the Thomas–Fermi model are compared with quantum, exchange, and shell corrections. The corrections become quite big at moderate and low densities and low temperatures in the region of strongly coupled plasma.
