<strong>DFT</strong> based – spherical Confinement approach (collaboration with D.J.Tozer) • Atomic Radius R A =λB A Bragg radius • Within the sphere: convertional v xc • outside the sphere: v xc = constant ensuring appropriate asymptotic density decay λ=1.7 λ=3.0 λ=4.0 λ↑ →molecule is trapped within cavity resembling an ellipsoid Pag. 30-9-2008 38
An atom test case: helium Radial Density Distribution V=9.10 3 au ensures “atom trapped in a spherical wall” Atom increases its HOMO-LUMO gap upon confinement i.e. becomes “harder” λ= 3 B He = 0.35 Å λB He ~ 2a.u. cfr earlier (1992-2005) work Number of electrons outside this region < 10 -7 Pag. 30-9-2008 39
