Short-range exchange and correlation energy density functionals: beyond the local density approximation
arXiv:physics/0410122 · doi:10.1063/1.1824896
Abstract
We propose approximations which go beyond the local density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists in defining locally the range of the interaction in the correlation functional. Another approximation, more conventional, is based on a gradient expansion of the short-range exchange-correlation functional. Finally, we also test a short-range generalized-gradient approximation by extending the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional to short-range interactions.
