Coulomb Energy Density Functionals for Nuclear Systems: Recent Studies of Coulomb Exchange and Correlation Functionals

Abstract

The Coulomb exchange and correlation energy density functionals for electron systems are applied to nuclear systems. It is found that the exchange functionals in the generalized gradient approximation provide agreements with the exact-Fock energy with one adjustable parameter within a few dozen $\mathrm{keV}$ accuracy, whereas the correlation functionals are not directly applicable to nuclear systems due to the existence of the nuclear force.
