We study electron densities of eigenfunctions of atomic Schroedinger operators. We prove the existence of rho~'''(0), the third derivative of the spherically averaged atomic density rho~ at the nucleus. For eigenfunctions with corresponding…
We derive an upper estimate for electronic density $\rho_\Psi (x)$ in heavy atoms and molecules. While not sharp, on the distances $\gtrsim Z^{-1}$ from the nuclei it is still better than the known estimate $CZ^3$ ($Z$ is the total charge…
We investigate properties of the spherically averaged atomic one-electron density rho~(r). For a rho~ which stems from a physical ground state we prove that rho~ > 0. We also give exponentially decreasing lower bounds to rho~ in the case…
A new formula that relates the electron density at the nucleus of atoms,rho(0,Z), and the atomic number,Z, is proposed. This formula,rho(0,Z)=a(Z-bZ^(0.5))^3, contains two unknown parameters (a,b) that are derived using a least square…
Only one third of the nucleons in $^{208}$Pb occupy the saturation density area. Consequently nuclear observables related to average properties of nuclei, such as masses or radii, constrain the equation of state (EOS) not at saturation…
The motion of an electron in an image field and a blocking electric field is considered in semiclassical approximation. An exact analytical expression is found for the density of the energy spectrum of states. The dependence of spectral…

We prove that the ground state energy of an atom confined to two dimensions with an infinitely heavy nucleus of charge $Z>0$ and $N$ quantum electrons of charge -1 is $E(N,Z)=-{1/2}Z^2\ln Z+(E^{\TF}(\lambda)+{1/2}c^{\rm H})Z^2+o(Z^2)$ when…
The strong Scott conjecture about the electron density at a distance 1/Z from an atomic nucleus of charge $Z$ and its generalization for molecules are proved. The density, suitably scaled, converges to an explicit limiting density as $Z \to…
Spatial localization of the electrons of an atom or molecule is studied in models of non-relativistic matter coupled to quantized radiation. We give two definitions of the ionization threshold. One in terms of spectral data of cluster…
We consider a pseudorelativistic model of atoms and molecules, where the kinetic energy of the electrons is given by $\sqrt{p^2+m^2}-m$. In this model the eigenfunctions are generally not even bounded, however, we prove that the…
We consider a gas of bosons interacting through a hard-sphere potential with radius $\frak{a}$ in the thermodynamic limit. We derive a simple upper bound for the ground state energy per particle at low density. Our bound captures the…
The non-relativistic interacting electron gas in an external field of positively charged massive cores is dealt with in the scheme of second quantization. Ladder operators that change between stationary states of contiguous energy…

The eigenfunctions of electronic Hamiltonians determine the stable structures and dynamics of molecules through the local distributions of their densities. In this paper an a priori upper bound for such local distributions of the densities…

Consider $N$ bosons in a finite box $\Lambda= [0,L]^3\subset \bR^3$ interacting via a two-body nonnegative soft potential $V= \lambda \tilde V$ with $\tilde V$ fixed and $\lambda>0$ small. We will take the limit $L, N \to \infty$ by keeping…
The density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy governs important aspects of very neutron rich systems such as heavy nuclei and their collisions, neutron stars and their mergers. Many analyses of experimental data have generated…
Upper and lower bounds are derived for the ground-state energy of neutral atoms which for $Z\to\infty$ both involve the limits of exact Green's functions with one-body potentials. The limits of both bounds are shown to coincide with the…
Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of photons have been measured for $^{40}$Ca at energies of 58 and 74 MeV and for $^{16}$O and $^4$He at 61 MeV, in the angular range from 45$^o$ to 150$^o$. Evidence is obtained that there…
