Abstract
AbstractAn analysis of the integrand occurring in current density functional calculations is presented, concentrating attention on correlation energy functionals and the atomic regions, i.e., the regions of space surrounding atomic centers. The analysis follows the structure of a previously proposed numerical integration scheme for three‐dimensional integrals occurring in electronic structure calculations. The scheme is based on the choice of density‐based weight functions that naturally partition the space into «atomic» volumes (in which the integration is performed in terms of spherical coordinates) and «diatomic» volumes (in which the integration is performed in terms of confocal elliptical coordinates). From this analysis, a simplified procedure for the atomic «internal» integrations is developed, whereas preliminary results are discussed for the atomic and diatomic «external» integrations. The numerical tests are performed on the C60 molecule in the symmetrical configuration. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
