J. Navarro et X. Vinas, EXTENDED THOMAS-FERMI EXPANSION FROM NUCLEAR LINEAR-RESPONSE, Journal of physics. G, Nuclear and particle physics, 22(9), 1996, pp. 1363-1371
The coefficients of the successive h(2) orders of the extended Thomas-
Fermi expansion of the kinetic energy density are obtained to the lead
ing order in the density inhomogeneities. This is done by comparing th
e corresponding static polarizability with the exact value in two case
s: a non-interacting nuclear infinite system and symmetric nuclear mat
ter with a Skyrme interaction.
