## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

Libxc is a scientific C library of exchange-correlation and kinetic-energy functionals for density-functional theory, with Fortran and Python bindings for integration into electronic-structure codes.

### プロジェクトの歴史

Libxc began with the aim of providing a portable, well tested, reliable set of functionals for codes of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility. The 2012 Computer Physics Communications paper presented a library containing routines for around 180 functionals and their derivatives, addressing a reproducibility problem caused by many slightly different implementations across electronic-structure programs.

The project later grew beyond its ETSF origin into a shared dependency for many quantum-chemistry and solid-state codes. Its own site records an important implementation shift in version 4 in 2017, when Libxc moved from hand-written C implementations to automatic code generation with Maple.

### 採用の歴史

Libxc adoption is visible through the citation expectations on the project site and through its list of interfacing programs. Codes use it so they can expose a broad, named set of density-functional approximations without reimplementing each functional locally.

The 2018 SoftwareX paper became the preferred citation for later versions, reflecting the library's growth from a compact common functional set into a comprehensive, maintained reference implementation for DFT software.

### 使われ方

Developers link Libxc into simulation codes and call its APIs to evaluate LDA, GGA, meta-GGA, hybrid, and related functionals. Packagers care about ABI, bindings, and the xc-info tool because downstream scientific packages often need a consistent functional catalog across C, Fortran, and Python interfaces.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Libxc is one of those quiet HPC packages that standardizes scientific meaning, not just linkage. In a dependency graph it signals that an electronic-structure code can delegate a notoriously broad and error-prone part of DFT to a common implementation.

### タイムライン

- 2012-03-08: The original Libxc paper was submitted to arXiv.
- 2012: The early Libxc reference appeared in Computer Physics Communications.
- 2017: Libxc version 4 switched to automatic Maple-based code generation.
- 2018: The SoftwareX paper 'Recent developments in Libxc' became the preferred citation for maintained versions.

### Related projects

- Related projects include ETSF codes, DFT-FE, DFTK.jl, Elk, and other density-functional-theory and electronic-structure packages that interface with Libxc.
