Relativistic self-consistent solutions, without exchange, have been obtained for several atoms of large atomic number by use of a general program for a high speed computing machine. A short description of this program and of the self-consistent calculation is given. Eigenvalues for the individual electron subshells of the self-consistent mercury, tungsten, platinum, and uranium atoms are presented. A comparison of the calculation with previous results for the mercury atom is also included.
IN VACUUM 617 negligible effect on the results. 23 In addition, the reproducibility of the work function of the iron suggests that a single-crystal plane is probably exposed by cleavage.The exact agreement between the results reported here and those of Riviere 10 must be considered fortuitous. 23 Even if the work function of 5% of the surface differed by 0.5 electron volt from the rest of the surface, it would change the measured work function by only 0.03 electron volt. For further discussion of the patch effect see C. Herring and M. H. Nichols, Revs. Modern Phys. 21, 185 (1949).The exposed planes on a film evaporated on a cold glass substrate cannot be expected to be the same as those on a cleaved surface.The difference between the thermoelectric power of severely cold-rolled and well annealed pure copper has been measured between about 8°K and 320°K. The absolute thermoelectric power of our annealed and cold-worked samples were determined over the same temperature range by measuring the thermoelectric power of a thermocouple formed from annealed pure copper and pure lead. The thermoelectric power of cold-rolled copper is positive relative to annealed pure copper over the entire temperature range, and the effect of cold work is largest at very low temperatures where the thermoelectric power of annealed copper displays a pronounced minimum. Our results are in fair agreement with recent work by Powell and by van Ooijen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
