Relevant (previous) publications that led to the construction of the SSB-D functional can be found on this page.

SSB-D is only a small correction to the non-empirical PBEx exchange functional, with differences of less than 10% in the parameters.

There are two main routines, one for the "exchange" part and for the correlation part. The "exchange" part includes the KT-gradient correction formula, which is strictly speaking not an exchange functional.
The Grimme dispersion correction is not given explicitly here, this depends on the program how to add it. It should be added with a s₆ factor of 0.847455, and a scale for the radii of 1.1.

The code has been prepared for use within ADF:

• the sPBE correlation, i.e. simplified PBE correlation: [code]
• the "exchange" part, SSB + KT formulas: [code]
• Note: these routines only give the non-LDA part !!!
