The argument has been put forward that negatne ions are correctly c&ulatcd to bc stable, If, m the local denslty func-bona1 formabsm, B correctlon for the self-mteraction term 1s made. Thts correction, altbough it works for atoms or taghtlybound electrons, cannot be directly extended to systems asth delocahzed e!ectrons, for which the mstabrbty probiem remains

Stable negative ions such as O-and F-are calculated to be unstable if exchange-correlation potentials of the Xp type are used, whereas the Hartree-Fock method correctly predicts their stability. The reason for this difference in stability is the difference in the one-electron energies between the tw
