A simple state-dependent exchange functional for calculating Hartree-Fock bandstructures in semiconductors and insulators

A functional which takes the nonlocal character of the exchange selfenergy fully into account is derived within the nearly-free electron model for a spherical Fermi surface. This exchange functional when combined with the Hartree bandstructure gives approximate Hartree-Fock (HF) bands which agree su...

Summary:A functional which takes the nonlocal character of the exchange selfenergy fully into account is derived within the nearly-free electron model for a spherical Fermi surface. This exchange functional when combined with the Hartree bandstructure gives approximate Hartree-Fock (HF) bands which agree surprisingly well with ab-initio HF-bands for covalent semiconductors and rare gas solids.
