Next-order correction to the Dirac exchange energy of the free electron gas in the thermodynamic limit and generalized gradient approximations

Next-order correction to the Dirac exchange energy of the free electron gas in the thermodynamic limit and generalized gradient approximations

We derive the next order correction to the Dirac exchange energy for the free electron gas in a box with zero boundary conditions in the thermodynamic limit. The correction is of the order of the surface area of the box, and comes from three different contributions: (i) a real-space boundary …
