Machine-learned Laplacian-level density functional from exact exchange-correlation potentials and energies
NNLap, a machine-learned Laplacian-level exchange-correlation (XC) functional that augments PBE with a neural-network correction depending on the electron density, its gradient, and its Laplacian, achieves remarkable accuracy on thermochemistry benchmarks, competing with the meta-GGA functionals SCAN and r2SCAN.
