✦ Synopsis
A simple model is studied for the atomic exchange energy density functional, which is based on the exponential decaying feature of the density and the Fermi᎐Amaldi model for exchange correlation. The model is exact for hydrogen-like atoms. It is shown to provide a reasonable approximation for many-electron atoms. The local exchange energy density and potential are Ž . < Ž .< expressed as universal functions of r, r , and ٌ r , and go beyond the Ž . w x generalized gradient approximation GGA framework in which E s x Ž .
