Fermi orbital self-interaction corrected electronic structure of molecules beyond local density approximation

Abstract

The correction of the self-interaction error (SIE) that is inherent to all standard density functional theory (DFT) calculations is an object of increasing interest. In this article we apply the very recently developed Fermi-orbital based approach for the self-interaction correction (FOSIC) to a set of different molecular systems. Our study covers systems ranging from simple diatomic to large organic molecules. We focus our analysis on the direct estimation of the ionization potential from orbital eigenvalues.
