INFLUENCE OF BULK PROPERTIES ON THE SURFACE-STRUCTURE OF FINITE NUCLEI - COMMENT

We comment on a recent paper by Uma Maheswari et al. in which it is cl aimed that quantal calculations of the half-infinite nuclear matter, i n contrast to semiclassical approximations, exhibit an unusually stron g dependence of the 90%-10% surface thickness of the density profile o n the Fermi momentum k(F) at saturation. This conclusion was carried o ver to the surface. incompressibility. On the contrary we find essenti al agreement between semiclassical and quantal results and very weak d ependence on k(F) of the quantities in question.
