Reproducibility of density functional approximations: how new functionals should be reported

Susi Lehtola, Miguel A. L. Marques

Density functional theory is the workhorse of chemistry and materials science, and novel density functional approximations (DFAs) are published every year. To become available in p…

Automatic Generation of Accurate and Cost-efficient Auxiliary Basis Sets

Susi Lehtola

We have recently discussed an algorithm to automatically generate auxiliary basis sets (ABSs) of the standard form for density fitting (DF) or resolution-of-the-identity (RI) calcu…

Meta-GGA density functional calculations on atoms with spherically symmetric densities in the finite element formalism

Susi Lehtola

Density functional calculations on atoms are often used for determining accurate initial guesses as well as generating various types of pseudopotential approximations and efficient…

How good are recent density functionals for ground and excited states of one-electron systems?

Sebastian Schwalbe, Kai Trepte, Susi Lehtola

Sun et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 191101 (2016)] suggested that common density functional approximations (DFAs) should exhibit large energy errors for excited states as a necessary c…

Many recent density functionals are numerically ill-behaved

Susi Lehtola, Miguel A. L. Marques

Most computational studies in chemistry and materials science are based on the use of density functional theory. Although the exact density functional is unknown, several density f…

Chemical bonding theories as guides for self-interaction corrected solutions: multiple local minima and symmetry breaking

Kai Trepte, Sebastian Schwalbe, Simon Liebing +5

Fermi--Löwdin orbitals (FLO) are a special set of localized orbitals, which have become commonly used in combination with the Perdew--Zunger self-interaction correction (SIC) in th…
