Exploring and enhancing the accuracy of interior-scaled Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction

Puskar Bhattarai, Biswajit Santra, Kamal Wagle +5

The Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction(PZ-SIC) improves the performance of density functional approximations(DFAs) for the properties that involve significant self-interacti…

Self-Interaction Correction in Water-Ion Clusters

Kamal Wagle, Biswajit Santra, Puskar Bhattarai +4

We study the importance of self-interaction errors in density functional approximations for various water-ion clusters. We have employed the Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction c…

The Fermi-Löwdin self-interaction correction for ionization energies of organic molecules

Santosh Adhikari, Biswajit Santra, Shiqi Ruan +4

(Semi)-local density functional approximations (DFAs) suffer from self-interaction error (SIE). When the first ionization energy (IE) is computed as the negative of the highest-occ…

Simple hydrogenic estimates for the exchange and correlation energies of atoms and atomic ions, with implications for density functional theory

Aaron D. Kaplan, Biswajit Santra, Puskar Bhattarai +8

Exact density functionals for the exchange and correlation energies are approximated in practical calculations for the ground-state electronic structure of a many-electron system.…

A Step in the Direction of Resolving the Paradox of Perdew-Zunger Self-interaction Correction. II. Gauge Consistency of the Energy Density at Three Levels of Approximation

Puskar Bhattarai, Kamal Wagle, Chandra Shahi +7

The Perdew-Zunger(PZ) self-interaction correction (SIC) was designed to correct the one-electron limit of any approximate density functional for the exchange-correlation (xc) energ…

Stretched or noded orbital densities and self-interaction correction in density functional theory

Chandra Shahi, Puskar Bhattarai, Kamal Wagle +17

Semi-local approximations to the density functional for the exchange-correlation energy of a many-electron system necessarily fail for lobed one-electron densities, including not o…
