A Noble-Gas-Centered Coordinate for Within-Period Atomic Property Trends

Jonathan Washburn, Megan Simons, Elshad Allahyarov

We introduce a single dimensionless landscape function $J_{\mathrm{chem}}(\ddot{I})=\cosh (\ddot{I}\ln \ddot{I}†)-1$, $\ddot{I}†=(1+\sqrt{5})/2$, on the noble-gas-centred coordinate $\ddot{I}=d/L_p\in [0,1)$, an…
