I have to show that the hamiltonian for a homogeneous system can be simplified in scaled coordinates.
The first two terms I can convert to scaled coordinates <T>+<V> whereas I have some trouble for the last term
-½*[tex] \int d³r d³r' \frac{n²}{|r-r'|} [/tex]
where n is the density. The scaled coordinates can be expressed as \tilde{r}=\frac{a_0}{r_s} - r_s is a average distance between electrons and the expression can be written as
[tex] -\frac{3}{4\pi} \int d³\tilde{r} \frac{1}{\tilde{r}} [/tex]
I have some troubles getting the last part - how can the two d³r d³r' be reduced to d³\tilde{r} - any hints or advise appreciated
thanks in advance
