We study the properties of the lower bound on the exchange-correlation energy in two dimensions. First we review the derivation of the bound and show how it can be written in a simple density-functional form. This form allows an explicit…
Commonly used semilocal density functional approximations for the exchange-correlation energy fail badly when the true two dimensional limit is approached. We show, using a quasi-two-dimensional uniform electron gas in the infinite barrier…

We derive a generalized gradient approximation to the exchange energy to be used in density functional theory calculations of two-dimensional systems. This class of approximations has a long and successful history, but it has not yet been…
Universal low-energy properties are studied for three identical bosons confined in two dimensions. The short-range pair-wise interaction in the low-energy limit is described by means of the boundary condition model. The wave function is…
We discuss the exchange-correlation energy of a multicomponent (multi-valley) two-dimensional electron gas and show that an extension of the recent parametrisation of the exchange-correlation energy by Attacalite et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 88,…
The homogeneous electron gas is one of the most studied model systems in condensed matter physics. It is also at the basis of the large majority of approximations to the functionals of density functional theory. As such, its…

We calculate the short-range exchange-correlation energy of the uniform electron gas with two modified electron-electron interactions. While the short-range exchange functionals are calculated analytically, Coupled-Cluster and…
By means of a generalization of the Fefferman-de la Llave decomposition we derive a general lower bound on the interaction energy of one-dimensional quantum systems. We apply this result to a specific class of lowest Landau band wave…
Electronic structure calculations are routinely carried out within the framework of density-functional theory, often with great success. For electrons in reduced dimensions, however, there is still a need for better approximations to the…
Quantum rings can be characterized by a specific radius and ring width. For this rich class of physical systems, an accurate approximation for the exchange-hole potential and thus for the exchange energy is derived from first principles.…
Lieb and Oxford (1981) derived rigorous lower bounds, in the form of local functionals of the electron density, on the indirect part of the Coulomb repulsion energy. The greatest lower bound for a given electron number N depends…
Methods for estimating the correlation energy of molecules and other electronic systems are discussed based on the assumption that the correlation energy can be partitioned between atomic regions. In one method, the electron density is…
We consider density functionals for exchange and correlation energies in two-dimensional systems. The functionals are constructed by making use of exact constraints for the angular averages of the corresponding exchange and correlation…
Implicit and explicit density functionals for the exchange energy in finite two-dimensional systems are developed following the approach of Becke and Roussel [Phys. Rev. A 39, 3761 (1989)]. Excellent agreement for the exchange-hole…
