Abstract

A hybrid theory which combines the full nonlocal ``exact'' exchange interaction with the local spin-density approximation of density-functional theory is shown to lead to marked improvement in the description of antiferromagnetically coupled systems. Semiquantitative agreement with experiment is found for the magnitude of the coupling constant in ${\mathrm{La}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$, ${\mathrm{KNiF}}_{3}$, and ${\mathrm{K}}_{2}{\mathrm{NiF}}_{4}$. The magnitude of the unpaired spin population on the metal site is in excellent agreement with experiment for ${\mathrm{La}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$.
