Regarding the limit hbar-->0 as the classical limit of quantum mechanics seems to be silly because hbar is a definite constant of physics, but it was successfully used in the derivation of the WKB approximation. A superseded version of the…
We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for a system of $N$ fermions bound in a local (mean-field) potential $V(\bfr)$. We generalize a recently developed semiclassical theory [J. Roccia and M. Brack, Phys. Rev.\ Lett. {\bf…
