Ensemble Generalization of the Perdew-Zunger Self-Interaction Correction: a Way Out of Multiple Minima and Symmetry Breaking

Sebastian Schwalbe, Wanja Timm Schulze, Kai Trepte +1

The Perdew-Zunger (PZ) self-interaction correction (SIC) is an established tool to correct unphysical behavior in density functional approximations. Yet, PZ-SIC is well-known to so…

Bound state breaking and the importance of thermal exchange-correlation effects in warm dense hydrogen

Zhandos Moldabekov, Sebastian Schwalbe, Maximilian Böhme +5

Hydrogen at extreme temperatures and pressures is ubiquitous throughout our universe and naturally occurs in a variety of astrophysical objects. In addition, it is of key relevance…

Bond formation insights into the Diels-Alder reaction: A bond perception and self-interaction perspective

Wanja Timm Schulze, Sebastian Schwalbe, Kai Trepte +3

The behavior of electrons during bond formation and breaking cannot commonly be accessed from experiments. Thus, bond perception is often based on chemical intuition or rule-based…

How good are recent density functionals for ground and excited states of one-electron systems?

Sebastian Schwalbe, Kai Trepte, Susi Lehtola

Sun et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 191101 (2016)] suggested that common density functional approximations (DFAs) should exhibit large energy errors for excited states as a necessary c…

Effect of molecular and electronic geometries on the electronic density in FLO-SIC

Simon Liebing, Kai Trepte, Sebastian Schwalbe

Recently, Trepte et al. [J. Chem. Phys., vol. 155, 2021] pointed out the importance of analyzing dipole moments in the Fermi-Löwdin orbital (FLO) self-interaction correction (SIC)…

Chemical bonding theories as guides for self-interaction corrected solutions: multiple local minima and symmetry breaking

Kai Trepte, Sebastian Schwalbe, Simon Liebing +5

Fermi--Löwdin orbitals (FLO) are a special set of localized orbitals, which have become commonly used in combination with the Perdew--Zunger self-interaction correction (SIC) in th…

PyFLOSIC: Python-based Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction correction

Sebastian Schwalbe, Lenz Fiedler, Jakob Kraus +3

We present PyFLOSIC, an open-source, general-purpose Python implementation of the Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction correction (FLO-SIC), which is based on the Python simulatio…

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…

Mechanical, elastic and thermodynamic properties of crystalline lithium silicides

Sebastian Schwalbe, Thomas Gruber, Kai Trepte +3

We investigate crystalline thermodynamic stable lithium silicides phases (LixSiy) with density functional theory (DFT) and a force-field method based on modified embedded atoms (ME…

Ab initio electronic structure and optical conductivity of bismuth tellurohalides

Sebastian Schwalbe, René Wirnata, Ronald Starke +2

We investigate the electronic structure, dielectric and optical properties of bismuth tellurohalides BiTeX (X = I, Cl, Br) by means of all-electron density functional theory. In pa…
