A new gradient - corrected exchange functional
نویسنده
چکیده
A new gradient-corrected exchange functional (G96) is introduced. While similar to Becke’s B88 functional, it is much simpler and its potential in ® nite systems is asymptotically unbounded. The mean absolute deviations of the B88 and G96 exchange energies from the corresponding Hartree-Fock values for the atoms H to Ar are 12 ± 5 and 8 ± 5 mE h , respectively. In combination with the LYP correlation functional, it yields a density functional (G-LYP) that performs similarly to B-LYP on the standard G2 benchmark and we infer that the usefulness of a functional for molecular calculations does not depend critically on its asymptotic behaviour.

Screened-exchange density functionals with broad accuracy for chemistry and solid-state physics.
We present two new exchange-correlation functionals for hybrid Kohn-Sham electronic structure calculations based on the nonseparable functional form introduced recently in the N12 and MN12-L functionals but now with the addition of screened Hartree-Fock exchange. The first functional depends on the density and the density gradient and is called N12-SX; the second functional depends on the densi...
متن کاملLong-range corrected density functional through the density matrix expansion based semilocal exchange hole.
The exchange hole, which is one of the principal constituents of the density functional formalism, can be used to design accurate range-separated hybrid functionals in association with appropriate correlation. In this regard, the exchange hole derived from the density matrix expansion has gained attention due to its fulfillment of some of the desired exact constraints. Thus, the new long-range ...

The eect of the inclusion of the exact exchange into self-interaction corrected generalized gradient approximation density functional theory (GGA-DFT) for the simplest hydrogen abstraction reaction, H + H 2 ® H 3 ® H 2 + H, is presented using a triple-zeta augmented 6-311++G(d,3pd) basis set. The introduction of the self-interaction correction has a considerably larger eect on molecular geome...

The electronic and structural properties of CaS are calculated using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation energy. For both structures, NaCl structure (B1) and CsCl structure (B2), the obtained values for lattice parameters, Bulk modulus and its pres...
متن کاملTowards an Optimal Gradient-dependent Energy Functional of the PZ-SIC Form
Results of Perdew–Zunger self-interaction corrected (PZ-SIC) density functional theory calculations of the atomization energy of 35 molecules are compared to those of high-level quantum chemistry calculations. While the PBE functional, which is commonly used in calculations of condensed matter, is known to predict on average too high atomization energy (overbinding of the molecules), the applic...
