Self-interaction (SI) error, which results when exchange-correlation contributions to the total energy are approximated, limits the reliability of many density functional approximations. The Perdew-Zunger SI correction (PZSIC), when applied…
Recently proposed local self-interaction correction (LSIC) method [Zope, R. R. et al., J. Chem. Phys. 151, 214108 (2019)] is a one-electron self-interaction-correction (SIC) method that uses an iso-orbital indicator to apply the SIC at each…
The Perdew-Zunger (PZ) method provides a way to remove the self-interaction (SI) error from density functional approximations on an orbital by orbital basis. The PZ method provides significant improvements for the properties such as barrier…
A recently proposed local self-interaction correction (LSIC) method [Zope \textit{et al.} J. Chem. Phys., 2019,{\bf 151}, 214108] when applied to the simplest local density approximation provides significant improvement over standard…
Semi-local density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy of a many-electron system cannot be exact for all one-electron densities. In 1981, Perdew and Zunger (PZ) subtracted the fully-nonlocal self-interaction error…
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 only the familiar stretched densities but also the less…
Incorporating self-interaction corrections (SIC) significantly improves chemical reaction barrier height predictions made using density functional theory methods. We present a detailed, orbital-by-orbital analysis of these corrections for…
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) energy, while yielding no correction to the exact functional.…
Accurate prediction of spin-state energy difference is crucial for understanding the spin crossover (SCO) phenomena and is very challenging for the density functional approximations, especially for the local and semi-local approximations,…
Most widely used density functional approximations suffer from self-interaction (SI) error, which can be corrected using the Perdew-Zunger (PZ) self-interaction correction (SIC). We implement the recently proposed size-extensive formulation…
Self-consistent calculations using the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction (PZ-SIC) to local density and gradient dependent energy functionals are presented for the binding energy and equilibrium geometry of small molecules as well as…
Semilocal density-functional approximations (DFAs), including the state-of-the-art SCAN functional, are plagued by the self-interaction error (SIE). While this error is explicitly defined only for one-electron systems, it has inspired the…
We studied the effect of self-interaction error (SIE) on the static dipole polarizabilities of water clusters modelled with three increasingly sophisticated, non-empirical density functional approximations (DFAs), viz. the local spin…
Despite the success of density functional approximations (DFAs) in describing the electronic properties of many-electron systems, the most widely used approximations suffer from self-interaction errors (SIE) that limit their predictive…
We study the effect of self-interaction errors on the barrier heights of chemical reactions. For this purpose we use the well-known Perdew-Zunger [J. P. Perdew and A. Zunger, Phys. Rev. B, {\bf 23}, 5048 (1981)] self-interaction-correction…
Accurate description of the excess charge in water cluster anions is challenging for standard semi-local and (global) hybrid density functional approximations (DFAs). Using the recent unitary invariant implementation of the Perdew-Zunger…
Recently developed locally scaled self-interaction correction (LSIC) is a one-electron SIC method that, when used with a ratio of kinetic energy densities (z$_\sigma$) as iso-orbital indicator, performs remarkably well for both…
We examine the role of self-interaction errors (SIE) removal on the evaluation of magnetic exchange coupling constants. In particular we analyze the effect of scaling down the self-interaction-correction (SIC) for three {\em non-empirical}…
We present a fully variational locally scaled self-interaction corrected (SIC) energy functional using complex optimal orbitals. This represents an important milestone for fully variational SIC energy functionals, which have been shown to…
Standard spin-density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy of a many-electron ground state make serious self-interaction errors which can be corrected by the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction (SIC). We propose a…
