Abstract
We study the static linear response in spherical Thomas-Fermi systems deriving a simple diferen- tial equation for general multipolar moments and associated polarizabilities. We test the equation on sodium clusters between 20 and 100 atoms and on fullerenes between C60 and C240 and propose it for general Thomas-Fermi systems. Our simple method provides results which deviates from experimental data with less then 15%.
