3. An atomic compressibility has been described already in the chemical physics literature; see, e.g.: (a) Connerade, J. P.; Kengkan, P.; Lakshmi, P. A.; Semaoune, R. J. Phys. B.: At. Mol Opt. Phys. 2000, 33, L847.

In that context, the term carries an entirely different meaning, denoting the response of atoms to spatial confinement or external pressure. More recently, Chattaraj and Sarkar have examined theoretically the effects of confinement(compression) on atomic softness and polarizabilities of (mainly period 2) elements:

39. A validation of (14) has not been accomplished in the present work. However, evidence for the additivity of atomic polarizability has been provided in a number of papers. Empirical methods (refs 27 and 28 and references therein) have been successful in demonstrating the additivity of valence state atomic polarizabilities for hundreds of compounds. More recently, Martin et al. (ref 29) have proposed and tested extensively a scheme for computing the appropriate (i.e., additive valence state) atomic polarizabilities.
