The predicted shell binding energies are found to be quite accurate over the entire range of the atomic number $Z$ up to 84 and compare very well with those obtained within the framework of hyper-virial-Pade scheme and the method of shifted large-N expansion. It is observed that the new perturbative method may also be applied to the other areas of atomic physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-11-22T07:01:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ge" ], "keywords": [ "energy levels", "neutral atoms", "perturbative treatment", "yukawa potential model", "atomic physics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics A", "year": 2006, "volume": 21, "number": 31, "pages": 6465 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006IJMPA..21.6465I" } } }
