79. To test exchange, we performed fully polarized HF calculations with and without the Slater integrals Fk for k≥2, using F4F2=0.7018, and F6F2=0.5366 [G. H. Dieke, Spectra and Energy Levels of Rare Earth Ions in Crystals, edited by, H. M. Crosswhite, and, H. Crosswhite, (Interscience, New York, 1968), p. 63]. We identified the monopole integral F0 with the LDA constrained occupation result Uf, approximated Dieke's result for F2 by (1.369+0.019nf)Uf for integer nf, and used the volume-dependent Uf to scale all parameters.
