TY - JOUR A1 - Engel, Eberhard T1 - Asymptotic behavior of exact exchange for slabs : beyond the leading order T2 - Computation N2 - Far outside the surface of slabs, the exact exchange (EXX) potential vx falls off as −1/z , if z denotes the direction perpendicular to the surface and the slab is localized around z=0 . Similarly, the EXX energy density ex behaves as −n/(2z) , where n is the electron density. Here, an alternative proof of these relations is given, in which the Coulomb singularity in the EXX energy is treated in a particularly careful fashion. This new approach allows the derivation of the next-to-leading order contributions to the asymptotic vx and ex . It turns out that in both cases, the corrections are proportional to 1/z2 in general.
