THE THOMAS-FERMI METHOD FOR EQUATION-OF-STATE CALCULATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4076652
One method of calculating equation-of-state data theoretically is through the application of Thomas-Fermi statistical theory. Data obtained from this method can be expected to be reasonably accurate only at densities greater than two to four times normal solid density or at temperatures greater than five to twenty volts. This is outside the range of primary interest for present considerations. The method is used as a guide for extrapolating experimental data or theoretical data valid in other density-temperature ranges. (W.L.H.)
