Abstract
Two methods of applying relativistic corrections to the Thomas–Fermi atom are considered, and numerical calculations are discussed. Radial charge distributions calculated from a relativistic Thomas–Fermi equation agree in gross form with those from more complicated self-consistent calculations. Energy eigenvalues for mercury, as determined from the relativistic Thomas–Fermi solution, are compared with other calculated and experimental values.
