I am looking at electric field screening for solids (metals). Thomas-Fermi screening. I don't know if its the same or two different things though...

Could you answer my questions as in 1, 2 and 3? I don't understand where the hollow comes from. And when the screening is complete.

Thank you :) No, actually I am looking at electric field screening for solids (metals). I read Wikipedias page about it but I still don't get it.

Hi, I have difficulty understanding the term screening. Screening is reducing of the electric field, as far as I have understood until now. 1. Why does screening occurs? Is it due to collective interaction of plasmons? 2. If we have a slow electric field, will screening occur or will it not...
