Ultranonlocality and accurate band gaps from a meta-generalized gradient approximation

The proper description of step structures in the exchange correlation potential, of charge localization, and a reasonable prediction of band gaps have been long-standing, serious challenges for semilocal density functionals. In practice, obtaining all of these properties from the functional derivati...
