Exchange-correlation energy for the 3D homogeneous electron gas at arbitrary temperature

arXiv:1306.1863 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.081102

Abstract

We fit finite-temperature path integral Monte Carlo calculations of the exchange-correlation energy of the 3D finite-temperature homogeneous electron gas in the warm-dense regime (r_{s} = (3/4πn)^{1/3} a_{B}^{-1} < 40 and Θ= T/T_{F} > 0.0625). In doing so, we construct a Padé approximant which collapses to Debye-Hückel theory in the high-temperature, low-density limit. Likewise, the zero-temperature limit matches the numerical results of ground-state quantum Monte Carlo, as well as analytical results in the high-density limit.
