Improved generalized gradient approximation for positron states in solids
Several first-principles calculations of positron-annihilation characteristics in solids have added gradient corrections to the local-density approximation within the theory by Arponen and Pajanne [Ann. Phys. (NY) 121, 343 (1979)] since this theory systematically overestimates the annihilation rates. As a further remedy, we propose to use gradient corrections for other local-density approximati...
متن کاملCalculation of positron states and annihilation in solids: A density-gradient-correction scheme.
The generalized gradient correction method for positron-electron correlation effects in solids @B. Barbiellini et al., Phys. Rev. B 51, 7341 ~1995!# is applied in several test cases. The positron lifetime, energetics, and momentum distribution of the annihilating electron-positron pairs are considered. The comparison with experiments shows systematic improvement in the predictive power of the t...
متن کاملGeneralized Gradient Approximation Made Simple.
Generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) for the exchange-correlation energy improve upon the local spin density (LSD) description of atoms, molecules, and solids. We present a simple derivation of a simple GGA, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants. Only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked...

متن کاملImproved constraint satisfaction in a simple generalized gradient approximation exchange functional.
Though there is fevered effort on orbital-dependent approximate exchange-correlation functionals, generalized gradient approximations, especially the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) form, remain the overwhelming choice in calculations. A simple generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange functional [A. Vela, V. Medel, and S. B. Trickey, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 244103 (2009)] was developed that i...
