الوصف: The key feature of nonlocal kinetic energy functionals is their ability to reduce to the Thomas-Fermi functional in the regions of high density and to the von Weizs\"acker functional in the region of low density/high density gradient. This behavior is crucial when these functionals are employed in subsystem DFT simulations to approximate the nonadditive kinetic energy. We propose a GGA nonadditive kinetic energy functional which mimics the good behavior of nonlocal functionals retaining the computational complexity of typical semilocal functionals. The new functional reproduces Kohn-Sham DFT and benchmark CCSD(T) interaction energies of weakly interacting dimers in the S22-5 and S66 test sets with a mean absolute deviation well below 1 kcal/mol.
