Abstract

Especially in atomic systems, it is now well established that exchange energy generally dominates correlation effects. Therefore we focus here on the exchange energy density x(r) as given in terms of the idempotent Dirac density matrix. This is then brought into contact with the one-parameter form of Becke's functional, which corrects the local-density-approximation form −cx[n(r)]4/3 with n(r) as the ground-state electron density, cx=(3/4)e2(3/)1/3, by terms involving the dimensionless gradient ratio |n(r)|/n4/3(r). A particular nonrelativistic model of the 10-electron Ne-like atomic ions, with large atomic number Z, is then compared to Becke's approximation to x(r). |
