Functionals in common use • Localdensityapproximation(LDA)– Usesonlyn(r)atapoint.
• Generalizedgradientapprox(GGA)– Usesbothn(r)and|∇n(r)|– Moreaccurate,correctsoverbindingofLDA– ExamplesarePBEandBLYP
• Hybrid:– MixessomefractionofHF– ExamplesareB3LYPandPBE0

A tale of three gaps
• Fundamentalgap:– Δ=I–A=24.6eVforHe
• Kohn‐Shamgap:– Δs=εHOMO‐εLUMO=21.16eV
• Derivativediscontinuity:Δxc=Δ‐Δs
• Lowestopticaltransition:– ωmin=E(1s,2p)‐E(1s2)=21.22eV
• NOTE:Allsameifnon‐interacting,alldifferentwheninteracting
• Of course, εHOMO(LDA)=15.5eVAPStutorial
