1. Generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation hole of a many-electron systemPhysical review. B, Condensed matter · 1996 · 6,913 citations

   We construct a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the density ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{xc}}$(r,r+u) at position r+u of the exchange-correlation hole surrounding an electron at r, or more precisely for its system and spherical average 〈${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{xc}}$(u)〉=(4\ensuremath{\pi}${)}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$\ensuremath{\int}d${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathit{u}}$ ${\mathit{N}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$\ensuremath{\int}${\mathit{d}}^{3}$r n(r)${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{xc}}$(r,r+u). Starting from the second-order density…
