Phys. Rev. B 67, 205327 (2003) [5 pages]Testing of two-dimensional local approximations in the current-spin and spin-density-functional theoriesReceived 3 January 2003; published 30 May 2003 We study a model quantum dot system in an external magnetic field by using both spin-density-functional theory and current-spin density-functional theory. The theories are used with local approximations for the spin-density and vorticity. The reliabilities of different parametrizations for the exchange-correlation functionals are tested by comparing the ensuing energetics with quantum Monte Carlo results. The limit where the vorticity dependence should be used in the exchange-correlation functionals is discussed. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
