Expand description

The Thomas-Fermi constant (9 pi^2 / 128)^(1/3) = 0.8853, which multiplies the Bohr radius in the Firsov and Lindhard lengths. The closed form is Firsov’s (Sov. Phys. JETP 6, 534 (1958), p. 535), and the rounded value 0.8853 is the one printed by Lindhard, Scharff and Schiott (1963), p. 8.
