ABSTRACT:
Current gradient-cor. d.-functional approxns. for the exchange energies of at. and mol. systems fail to reproduce the correct 1/r asymptotic behavior of the exchange-energy d. A gradient-cor. exchange-energy functional is given with the proper asymptotic limit. This functional, contg. only one parameter, fits the exact Hartree-Fock exchange energies of a wide variety of at. systems with remarkable accuracy, surpassing the performance of previous functionals contg. two parameters or more.
