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…

Symmetry Breaking with the SCAN Density Functional Describes Strong Correlation in the Singlet Carbon Dimer

John P. Perdew, Shah Tanvir ur Rahman Chowdhury, Chandra Shahi +3

The SCAN (strongly constrained and appropriately normed) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA), which satisfies all 17 exact constraints that a meta-GGA can satisfy, a…

Understanding density driven errors for reaction barrier heights

Aaron D. Kaplan, Chandra Shahi, Pradeep Bhetwal +2

Delocalization errors, such as charge-transfer and some self-interaction errors, plague computationally-efficient and otherwise-accurate density functional approximations (DFAs). E…

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…

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…

A Precision Measurement of the Neutron Scattering Length of He-4 Using Neutron Interferometry

R. Haun, F. E. Wietfeldt, M. Arif +5

We report a 0.08 % measurement of the bound neutron scattering length of He using neutron interferometry. The result is $b = (3.0982 \pm 0.0021 \mbox{ [stat]} \pm 0.0014 \mbox{…
