In the Hartree-Fock equations, as simplified by Slater, each electron is assumed to be acted upon by an exchange potential. The exchange potential, for an electron of a given spin, can be expressed in terms of the radius of the exchange hole surrounding the electron in question. This paper reports a simple calculation on the position dependence of the exchange hole radius in the Ne and Ar atoms, where there are equal numbers of spin-up and spin-down electrons, and in the Na atom, where the numbers of the spin-up and spin-down electrons differ by 1.
