Breaking of spherical symmetry in electronic structure, free and immersed atoms in an electron gas

Creator:

Dorsett, Skye Forrest

Abstract:

Total electronic energies are calculated numerically for free and singly-ionized He, Li, C, and Ne atoms using density functional theory. Immersion energies are calculated for a single C impurity atom embedded or absorbed into a charge-neutral system composed of a free-electron gas with uniform positive background, also called 'jellium'. Nonspherical...
