Density-functional exchange-energy approximation with correct asymptotic behavior.
TLDR
This work reports a gradient-corrected exchange-energy functional, containing only one parameter, that fits the exact Hartree-Fock exchange energies of a wide variety of atomic systems with remarkable accuracy, surpassing the performance of previous functionals containing two parameters or more.Abstract:
Current gradient-corrected density-functional approximations for the exchange energies of atomic and molecular systems fail to reproduce the correct 1/r asymptotic behavior of the exchange-energy density. Here we report a gradient-corrected exchange-energy functional with the proper asymptotic limit. Our functional, containing only one parameter, fits the exact Hartree-Fock exchange energies of a wide variety of atomic systems with remarkable accuracy, surpassing the performance of previous functionals containing two parameters or more.read more

A New Mixing of Hartree-Fock and Local Density-Functional Theories
TL;DR: In this article, a new coupling of Hartree-Fock theory with local density functional theory was proposed to improve the predictive power of the Hartree−Fock model for molecular bonding, and the results of tests on atomization energies, ionization potentials, and proton affinities were reported.

Universal solvation model based on solute electron density and on a continuum model of the solvent defined by the bulk dielectric constant and atomic surface tensions.
TL;DR: The SMD model may be employed with other algorithms for solving the nonhomogeneous Poisson equation for continuum solvation calculations in which the solute is represented by its electron density in real space, including, for example, the conductor-like screening algorithm.

A new hybrid exchange–correlation functional using the Coulomb-attenuating method (CAM-B3LYP)
TL;DR: In this article, a new hybrid exchange-correlation functional named CAM-B3LYP is proposed, which combines the hybrid qualities of B3LYP and the long-range correction presented by Tawada et al.
