Thomas–Fermi model is considered here to make it cogent to capture the Planck-scale effect with the use of a generalization of uncertainty relation. Here generalization contains both linear and quadratic terms of momentum. We first reformulate the Thomas–Fermi model for the non-relativistic case. We have shown that it can also be reformulated for taking into account the relativistic effect. We study the dialectic screening for both the non-relativistic and relativistic cases and find out the Fermi length for both the cases explicitly.

It is shown that leading corrections, to the ionization energy, of many-electrons atom, can be expressed as leading corrections of initial slope of trial variational solutions of the Thomas-Fermi equation. Some variational solutions with different initial slopes are compared. A comparison of the results shows, that as far as the binding energies are concerned a trial function with its slope not close to the (negative) Baker’s constant may not be suited.

Sodium (Na) clusters in octahedral cages of Na-intercalated fullerides Na6C60 and Na11C60 are studied within a Thomas–Fermi model. It is shown that the tetrahedral Na4 cluster in Na6C60 has an electric charge ~ +2.7 (in electron charge units), while the body-centered cubic Na9 cluster in Na11C60 is almost electrically neutral. Keywords: sodium clusters, alkali fullerides, Thomas–Fermi theory, ionization charge.

AbstractEstablished heat engines in quantum regime can be modeled with various quantum systems as working substances. For example, in the non-relativistic case, we can model the heat engine using infinite potential well as a working substance to evaluate the efficiency and work done of the engine. Here, we propose quantum heat engine with a relativistic particle confined in the one-dimensional potential well as working substance. The cycle comprises of two isothermal processes and two potential well processes of equal width, which forms the quantum counterpart of the known isochoric process in classical nature. For a concrete interpretation about the relation between the quantum observables with the physically measurable parameters (like the efficiency and work done), we develop a link between the thermodynamic variables and the uncertainty relation. We have used this model to explore the work extraction and the efficiency of the heat engine for a relativistic case from the standpoint of uncertainty relation, where the incompatible observables are the position and the momentum operators. We are able to determine the bounds (the upper and the lower bounds) of the efficiency of the heat engine through the thermal uncertainty relation.
