摘要
If an accurate ground-state electron density ρ0 for a system is known, it is shown from calculations on atoms that a strikingly good estimate for the total electronic energy of atoms is provided by the formula E[ρ0]=tsumii-(1- 1/N)J[ρ0], where N is the number of electrons, J[ρ0] is the classical Coulomb repulsion energy for ρ0, and the i are the Kohn-Sham orbital energies determined by the Zhao-Morrison-Parr procedure [Phys. Rev. A 50, 2138 (1994)] for implementation of the Levy-constrained search determination of the Kohn-Sham kinetic energy. The surprising accuracy of this formula is attributed to the fact that the exchange-correlation functional is equal to -J/N plus a functional that behaves as if it were approximately homogeneous, of degree 1 in the electron density. A corresponding exact formula is given, and various approximate models are constructed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
