Abstract
The total energies of atoms and with atomic number Z from 1 to 92 and singly-charge cations with Z from 2 to 92 have been calculated to an accuracy of 1 μHartree within four variants of the Kohn-Sham local-density approximation. The approximations considered are: the local-density approximation, the local-spin-density approximation, the relativistic local-density approximation, and the scalar-relativistic local-density approximation. The total energies for the LDA are found to be in 0.1% agreement with a largeatomic-number expansion from many-body theory for Z ≥ 40. Comparison to experiment is made for the ionization energies and spin-orbit splittings; also the total energies and eigenvalues of the various theories are compared among themselves.
