Thomas–Fermi Model - Total Energy

Total Energy

The total energy of the electrons is the sum of their kinetic and potential energies,

 \begin{align} E & = T \ + \ U_{eN} \ + \ U_{ee} \\ & = C_F\int ^{5/3}\ d^3r \ + \int n(\vec{r}) \ V_N(\vec{r}) \ d^3r \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \ e^2 \int \frac{n(\vec{r}) \ n(\vec{r} \, ')} {\left\vert \vec{r} - \vec{r} \, ' \right\vert } \ d^3r \ d^3r' \\
\end{align}

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or energy:

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
