摘要
The fourth order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) equation. This method simplifies solving the TFD equation and improves the solution accuracy. The electron density of Cu at the Wigner-Seitz atomic radius was calculated as an example, using the TFD equation. The same method was used to calculate electron densities of other 24 elements at the Wigner-Seitz radius. These results demonstrate a successful application of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac model in materials research.
