xcx

Exchange–correlation (XC) functionals for density-functional theory (DFT) — a pure-Rust, libxc-compatible reimplementation with no C dependency.

Given a density (and, per functional, its gradient / kinetic energy density), xcx returns the XC energy per particle and its first derivatives, plus metadata (family, requirements, exact-exchange fraction, range-separation and VV10 parameters). Each functional is one scalar energy expression; derivatives come from forward-mode automatic differentiation, so they are correct by construction.

xcx maps `(rho, sigma, tau[, lapl]) → energy density + derivatives + metadata

• linear mixing` and nothing else: no grids, AO evaluation, SCF, or dispersion.
