Density-functional thermochemistry. V. Systematic optimization of exchange-correlation functionals

Becke, Axel D.·1997·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A systematic procedure for refining gradient corrections in Kohn–Sham exchange-correlation functionals is presented. The procedure is based on least-squares fitting to accurate thermochemical data. In this first application of the method, we use the G2 test set of Pople and co-workers to generate what we believe to be an optimum GGA/exact-exchange density-functional theory (i.e., generalized gradient approximation with mixing of exactly computed exchange).

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.
