30 : LDA Why does it albeit work so well? The XC contribution is the smallest (that s why it was packed aside in the first place) LDA, despite is simplicity, still fulfills many important requirements set for the exact functional; scaling relations, sum rules,... There is a major error cancellation between the exchange and correlation (Warning: Same occurs with many other functionals also; thereby best keeping the same level of sophistication in both parts) DFT in the solid state September 24, / 42
31 : LDA The hole (top) is badly described, however the spherical average (bottom), which is the property needed, agrees reasonably LDA fulfills several sum rules DFT in the solid state September 24, / 42
32 : LDA Why does it not work so well? Missing integer discontinuity in the potential; thus bad excitation energies; the first place) Self-interaction not excluded: The electron interacts directly with itself Thus for example d and f functions underbound (eg density of states in fcc Cu) Wrong tail: no Rydberg states, image states at metal surfaces DFT in the solid state September 24, / 42
