| contents | In density functional theory (DFT), exact constraints, fundamental mathematical properties of the exchange-correlation (XC) energy and its underlying XC hole, along with paradigm systems such as the uniform electron gas and the hydrogen atom have been instrumental in developing exchange- correlation (XC) density functional approximations (DFAs). However, since the spatial XC energy density is not uniquely defined, its exact constraints can only be formulated within a chosen gauge and are therefore seldom utilized in DFA construction. Here, we propose a meta-generalized gradient approximation for the exchange energy, explicitly constructed within the Hartree gauge, using the hydrogen atom's exchange energy density for gauge alignment in core and asymptotic regions. By formulating DFAs at the XC energy density level, this approach expands reference datasets for machine learning and establishes a foundation for more accurate nonlocal density functionals requiring gauge alignment. |
