摘要

We consider the implications of the Lieb-Simon limit for correlation in density functional theory. In this limit, exemplified by the scaling of neutral atoms to large atomic number, local density approximation (LDA) becomes relatively exact, and the leading correction to this limit for correlation has recently been determined for neutral atoms. We use the leading correction to the LDA and the properties of the real-space cutoff of the exchange-correlation hole to design, based upon Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) correlation, an asymptotically corrected generalized gradient approximation (acGGA) correlation which becomes more accurate per electron for atoms with increasing atomic number. When paired with a similar correction for exchange, this acGGA satisfies more exact conditions than PBE. Combined with the known r(s)-dependence of the gradient expansion for correlation, this correction accurately reproduces correlation energies of closed-shell atoms down to Be. We test this acGGA for atoms and molecules, finding consistent improvement over PBE but also showing that optimal global hybrids of acGGA do not improve upon PBEO and are similar to meta-GGA values. We discuss the relevance of these results to Jacob's ladder of non-empirical density functional construction. Published by AIP Publishing.
