Single-particle kinetic energy in density-functional theory: Harmonic confinement in two and three dimensions
- Oxford University, Oxford (United Kingdom) and Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (Italy)
Using the known perturbation series for the idempotent Dirac density matrix in powers of a given one-body potential V(r), Stoddart and March (SM) generated a corresponding series for the kinetic energy density. While the general term of the SM series is known, a summation has not been achieved to date. A contribution to solve this problem is made here by exhibiting an explicit form of the above kinetic energy density for Fermions filling an arbitrary number of closed shells, when the confinement is harmonic. This example is of considerable current interest because of ongoing experiments on ultracold atomic gases of Fermions.
