Simple impurity embedded in a spherical jellium: Approximations of density functional theory compared to quantum Monte Carlo benchmarks
We study the electronic structure of a spherical jellium in the presence of a central Gaussian impurity. We test how well the resulting inhomogeneity effects beyond spherical jellium are reproduced by several approximations of density functional theory (DFT). Four rungs of Perdew's ladder of DFT functionals, namely local density approximation …
