About:
Libxc is a library of exchange and correlation functionals for quantum chemistry codes. It provides a comprehensive collection of density functional theory (DFT) functionals with a simple C interface. This allows researchers to easily implement and test new functionals across different simulation software.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive collection of DFT functionals
  • Simple C API for easy integration
  • Support for many exchange-correlation functionals
  • Extensive documentation and examples
Use Cases:
  • Implementing DFT functionals in quantum chemistry codes
  • Researching and testing new density functionals
  • Educational purposes in computational chemistry
Alternatives:
  • libint – Focuses on electron repulsion integrals rather than functionals
  • NWChem – Full quantum chemistry suite including functionals
