Exchange energy derivation

The exchange energy coefficient M characterizes the energy associated with the (anti)paraHel coupling of the ionic moments. It is direcdy proportional to the Curie temperature T (70). Experimental values have been derived from domain-width observations (69). Also the temperature dependence has been determined. It appears thatM is rather stable up to about 300°C. Because the Curie temperatures and the unit cell dimensions are rather similar, about the same values forM may be expected for BaM and SrM. 

What does this mean We have replaced the non-local and therefore fairly complicated exchange term of Hartree-Fock theory as given in equation (3-3) by a simple approximate expression which depends only on the local values of the electron density. Thus, this expression represents a density functional for the exchange energy. As noted above, this formula was originally explicitly derived as an approximation to the HF scheme, without any reference to density functional theory. To improve the quality of this approximation an adjustable, semiempirical parameter a was introduced into the pre-factor Cx which leads to the Xa or Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) method which enjoyed a significant amount of popularity among physicists, but never had much impact in chemistry,... 

The exchange part, ex, which represents the exchange energy of an electron in a uniform electron gas of a particular density is, apart from the pre-factor, equal to the form found by Slater in his approximation of the Hartree-Fock exchange (Section 3.3) and was originally derived by Bloch and Dirac in the late 1920 s ... 

Antiporter, a secondary ion transporter that moves a solute against its electrochemical gradient by using energy derived from the movement of another solute in the opposite direction down its electrochemical gradient. Antiporters are also called exchangers, and the exchange process is sometimes referred to as counter transport. 

Finally we mention some basic relations which are essential in the discussion of explicitly orbital dependent functionals. Examples of such functionals are the Kohn-Sham kinetic energy and the exchange energy which are dependent on the density due to the fact that the Kohn-Sham orbitals are uniquely determined by the density. The functional dependence of the Kohn-Sham orbitals on the density is not explicitly known. However one can still obtain the functional derivative of orbital dependent functionals as a solution to an integral equation. Suppose we have an explicit orbital dependent approximation for in terms of the Kohn-Sham orbitals then... 

The fourth rung of the ladder in Fig. 10.2 is important because the most common functionals used in quantum chemistry calculations with localized basis sets lie at this level. The exact exchange energy can be derived from the exchange energy density, which can be written in terms of the Kohn-Sham orbitals as...
