On the large-gradient behavior of the density functional exchange energy

Becke, A. D.·1986·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A coordinate-space model of the exchange hole density, previously introduced by the author, is extrapolated to the case of very strongly inhomogeneous systems (i.e., large density gradients). As a result, we propose a new gradient-corrected exchange energy functional for application to atomic and molecular problems. The model provides theoretical estimates of the parameters in the functional, and these compare well with empirical values deduced from a least squares fit to exact atomic data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
