Exchange potential calculations

The presence of the nonlocal exchange potentials in the Hartree-Fock equations greatly complicates their solution and necessitates further approximations. Several of these are discussed in the following subsection. In the evaluation of any calculations, it is important to recognize their common (and imperfect) origin, as well as the seriousness of the particular approximations made in solving the equations. 

Can this be true Let us examine it in the case of exchange potential because it can be calculated in terms of orbitals. 

Phenomenological TBF. A second class of TBF that are widely used in the literature, in particular for variational calculations of finite nuclei and nuclear matter [5], are the phenomenological Urbana TBF [19]. We remind that the Urbana IX TBF model contains a two-pion exchange potential supplemented by a phenomenological repulsive term VRk,... 

However, there is no explicit expression known for calculating in practice [e.g. in terms of occupied (f>iix) or n(r)] the exchange potential defined formally as... 

Because v(r) is given and t)es( ) easily calculable from the known density, Eq. (34), the KS exchange potential u,(r) is readily available from the OP solution - ags( )- It should be noticed, however, that this exchange potential v (r [ngs]) differs slightly from the exchange potential Vx(r [nos]) occurring in the exact GS problem solved by the KS method [see Eqs. (50), (51) and (56)], because the densities ngs(r) and nGs(r) are slightly different. 

In the remainder of this section, we give a brief overview of some of the functionals that are most widely used in plane-wave DFT calculations by examining each of the different approaches identified in Fig. 10.2 in turn. The simplest approximation to the true Kohn-Sham functional is the local density approximation (LDA). In the LDA, the local exchange-correlation potential in the Kohn-Sham equations [Eq. (1.5)] is defined as the exchange potential for the spatially uniform electron gas with the same density as the local electron density ... 

Fig. 4.2. Charge distribution and surface potential in a jellium model, (a) Distribution of the positive charge (a uniform background abruptly drops to zero at the boundary) and the negative charge density, determined by a self-consistent field calculation. (b) Potential energy as seen by an electron. By including all the many-body effects, including the exchange potential and the correlation potential, the classical image potential provides an adequate approximation.
