We assess various approximate forms for the correlation energy per particle of the spin-polarized homogeneous electron gas that have frequently been used in applications of the local spin density approximation to the exchange-correlation energy functional. By accurately recalculating the RPA correlation energy as a function of electron density and spin polarization we demonstrate the inadequacies of the usual approximation for interpolating between the para- and ferro-magnetic states and present an accurate new interpolation formula. A Padé approximant technique is used to accurately interpolate the recent Monte Carlo results (para and ferro) of Ceperley and Alder into the important range of densities for atoms, molecules, and metals. These results can be combined with the RPA spin-dependence so as to produce a correlation energy for a spin-polarized homogeneous electron gas with an estimated maximum error of 1 mRy and thus should reliably determine the magnitude of non-local corrections to the local spin density approximation in real systems.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structures of actinide solid systems are calculated using the self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation. Within this scheme the 5f electron manifold is considered to consist of both localized and delo-calized states, and by varying their relative proportions the energetically most favourable (ground state) configuration can be established. Specifically, we discuss elemental Pu in its δ-phase, and the effects of adding O to PuO2.
