摘要

We derive and motivate a Laplacian-level, orbital-free meta-generalized-gradient approximation (LL-MGGA) for the exchange-correlation energy, targeting accurate ground-state properties of sp and sd metallic condensed matter, in which the density functional for the exchange-correlation energy is only weakly nonlocal due to perfect long-range screening. Our model for the orbital-free kinetic energy density restores the fourth-order gradient expansion for exchange to the r(2)SCAN meta-GGA [Furness et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 8208 (2020)], yielding a LL-MGGA we call OFR2. OFR2 matches the accuracy of SCAN for prediction of common lattice constants and improves the equilibrium properties of alkali metals, transition metals, and intermetallics that were degraded relative to the PBE GGA values by both SCAN and r(2)SCAN. We compare OFR2 to the r(2)SCAN-L LL-MGGA [Mejia-Rodriguez and Trickey, Phys. Rev. B 102, 121109(R) (2020)] and show that OFR2 tends to outperform r(2)SCAN-L for the equilibrium properties of solids, but r(2)SCAN-L much better describes the atomization energies of molecules than OFR2 does. For best accuracy in molecules and nonmetallic condensed matter, we continue to recommend SCAN and r(2)SCAN . Numerical performance is discussed in detail, and our paper provides an outlook to machine learning.
