Description

We extend our recently published short-range gradient-corrected density functional from the closed-shell to Open-shell case, combine it with long-range coupled-cluster methods (CCSD, CCSD(T)), and apply it to the weakly bound alkali-metal rare-gas dimers AmRg (Am = Li-Cs; Rg = Ne-Xe). The results are shown to be superior, with medium-size basis sets, to pure DFT and pure coupled-cluster calculations
