The Hohenberg-Kohn density functional was long ago shown to reduce to the Thomas-Fermi approximation in the non-relativistic semiclassical (or large-$Z$) limit for all matter, i.e, the kinetic energy becomes local. Exchange also becomes…

An analytic expansion of the exact one-electron momentum density of the Hooke's atom is derived for the case k = 1/4. Electron correlation is shown to have opposite effects on the momentum density, compared with the Moshinsky's atom, but is…
