  ABSTRACT: We perform the self-consistent calculations on the atomic electron affinity and ionization energy for the first-row atoms by means of our scheme. A striking feature of the present work is the variational method with taking into account effects of the nonspherical distribution of electrons explicitly. Comparing the present results with those of the conventional spherical approximation, the systematical improvement can be found. This means that effects of the nonspherical distribution of electrons may play an essential role on the description of the atomic structures.
