Unconventional Error Cancellation Explains the Success of Hartree-Fock Density Functional Theory for Barrier Heights

Bikash Kanungo, Aaron D. Kaplan, Chandra Shahi +2

Energy barriers, which control the rates of chemical reactions, are seriously underestimated by computationally-efficient semi-local approximations for the exchange-correlation ene…
