Eliminating Delocalization Error through Localized Orbital Scaling Correction with Orbital Relaxation from Linear Response

Yichen Fan, Jincheng Yu, Jiayi Du +1

Despite the great success that Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) has achieved, the delocalization error remains a major challenge for commonly used density functional ap…
