Abstract
Using the first-order density matrix of an infinite barrier model of a metal surface, the exchange energy density can be evaluated exactly as a function of the distance z from the barrier. This result is compared with the local approximation - 3 4e2( 3 π) 1 3[ρ{variant}(z)] 4 3 where the electron density in the model. The local approximation follows the exact result quite closely at all z but leads to a large percentual error in the integrated surface exchange energy. © 1981.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
