Abstract
We consider theories in which a kinetic-energy correction () is added to the usual Thomas-Fermi term. A treatment based on the WKB method and expected to be valid for large shows here, as found experimentally. For small , is needed to give proper behavior of , but other arguments suggest that the Thomas-Fermi term be dropped here.
