Abstract: We develop a semi-empirical exchange-correlation functional for density functional theory tailored to calculate cohesive energies of solids. This functional has the form of a Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional, but with three parameters fitted to reproduce experimental cohesive energies of a selected set of materials. The quality of the obtained functional was then assessed for a control set. Our functional manages to reduce the error of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation by roughly a factor of two. Furthermore, this is achieved without compromising the quality of the geometry.
