Abstract

A simple redefinition of the potential energy assigned to a particular electron in the central field model of the atom removes the couplings of the single particle Schrödinger equations describing electrons in atoms. It leads to the validity of the same virial theorem for a particular electron as it is valid for the whole atom. The model makes a useful separation of the single particle potential energy operator into local and nonlocal parts. The method is based on the fact that the parameters appearing in the potential energy operators are rather insensitive to the detailed radial shape of wave functions.
