We perform systematic density functional theory (DFT) calculations to assess the performance of various exchange-correlation potentials $V_{xc}$ in describing the chalcogenide GaM$_4$Q$_8$ lacunar spinels (M=Mo, V, Nb, Ta; Q=S, Se). We…

We show that a naive treatment of open-shell systems in hybrid density functional calculations ignoring the spin dependence causes significant errors due to a kind of self interaction that is not emerged in spin-dependent calculations. As…
