Description

Electronic-structure software can evaluate exchange-correlation functionals for density-functional theory.

This library is useful for researchers and developers working with materials science, quantum chemistry, solid-state physics, and computational simulation codes. It does not run a full simulation by itself; parent programs call it as part of their numerical model.

Scientific results depend on the chosen functional, input structure, parameters, and consuming application. Validate calculations against trusted references.
