Self-consistent calculation of localized orbital scaling correction for correct electron densities and energy level alignment in density functional theory

Yuncai Mei, Zehua Chen, Weitao Yang

英文摘要：

The recently developed localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) method shows the ability to systematically and size-consistently reduce the delocalization error existing in conventional density functional approximations (DFAs). Applying LOSC to conventional DFAs (LOSC-DFAs) gives much improvement for the description of related properties, including band gaps, total energies and photoemission spectra. However, concern and issue remain: the application of LOSC to DFAs is mainly through a post self-consistent field (SCF) manner, and few results from applying LOSC to DFAs with a SCF manner have been reported. The reason is the originally proposed SCF approach for SCF-LOSC calculation uses an approximate Hamiltonian and encounters convergence problems easily in practice. In this work, we develop a new SCF approach with a correct Hamiltonian and achieve reliable SCF-LOSC calculations. We demonstrate the capability of the new SCF approach for SCF-LOSC to correctly describe the electron densities, total energies and energy level alignment for the molecular dissociation process, while conventional DFAs or LOSC-DFAs with post-SCF calculations show large errors. This work demonstrates that the new SCF approach for SCF-LOSC would be a promising method to study problems for correct electron densities and energy level alignment in large systems.

Localized orbital scaling correction for periodic systems

Density functional theory offers accurate structure prediction at acceptable computational cost, but commonly used approximations suffer from delocalization error; this results in inaccurate predictions of quantities such as energy band gaps of finite and bulk systems, energy level alignments, and electron distributions at interfaces. The localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) was developed to correct delocalization error by using orbitals localized in space and energy. These localized orbitals span both the occupied and unoccupied spaces and can have fractional occupations in order to co…

密度泛函理论中的拉伸或节化轨道密度和自相互作用修正

Stretched or noded orbital densities and self-interaction correction in density functional theory

对于多电子系统交换相关能的密度泛函的半局域近似，对于波瓣单电子密度必然会失败，不仅包括熟悉的拉伸密度，还包括不太熟悉但密切相关的节点密度。Perdew-Zunger（PZ）自相互作用修正（SIC）的半局域近似，使近似精确的所有单电子基态或激发态密度和拉伸债券的准确。在实定域轨道上求PZ总能量的最小值时，会使轨道密度发生节点化，从而导致多电子系统的能量误差。在复杂的局部轨道上的最小化产生无节点轨道密度，其减少但通常不消除原子化能量的SIC误差。PZ SIC的其他错误仍然存在，可归因于半局部近似满足的精确约束和适当的规范的损失，并建议需要一个广义SIC。这些结论得到了单电子密度和多电子分子计算的支持。虽然PZ SIC提高和改善了标准广义梯度近似（GGA）和meta-GGA的能垒，但它降低了分子的原子化能。从原子到分子再到过渡态，随着价定域轨道的密度增加，PZ SIC的能量增加更多。PZ SIC在这里特别应用于SCAN元GGA，其相关部分已经是无自交互的。该属性使SCAN成为广义SIC的自然第一候选者。

Combining Localized Orbital Scaling Correction and Bethe-Salpeter Equation for Accurate Excitation Energies

We applied localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) in Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) to predict accurate excitation energies for molecules. LOSC systematically eliminates the delocalization error in the density functional approximation and is capable of approximating quasiparticle (QP) energies with accuracy similar or better than the $GW$ Green's function approach and with much less computational cost. The QP energies from LOSC instead of commonly used $G_{0}W_{0}$ and ev$GW$ are directly used in BSE. We show that the BSE/LOSC approach greatly outperforms the commonly used BSE/$G_{0}W_{0}$…

Perdew-Zunger自相互作用修正：均匀密度和大Z原子有多错？

Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction: How wrong for uniform densities and large-Z atoms?

多电子系统的交换相关能的半局域密度泛函不可能对所有的单电子密度都是精确的。在1981年，Perdew和Zunger（PZ）逐轨道减去了完全非定域自相互作用误差，使得修正后的泛函对于所有分离的单电子密度的集合都是精确的，并且没有对精确泛函进行修正。虽然PZ自相互作用修正（SIC）消除了半局域泛函的许多误差，但它往往对sp键分子和固体的平衡性质更差。非经验半定域泛函通常被设计成对于均匀密度的电子气体是精确的，因此在大原子序数Z的极限下对于中性原子也会产生0%的误差，但是PZ SIC不是这样设计的。对于定域SIC轨道，我们用解析的方法证明了在高密度极限下均匀气体的LSDA-SIC关联能在自旋非极化情况下的误差为-50%，在自旋完全极化情况下的误差为-100%.然后，我们从Ne，Ar，Kr和Xe原子外推，以估计在大原子序数的限制下的PZ SIC交换相关能（具有局域SIC轨道）的相对误差：对于局域自旋密度近似（LSDA-SIC）约为+5.5%，对于非经验广义梯度近似（PBE-SIC）和亚广义梯度近似（SCAN-SIC）约为-3.5%。SIC的错误是相当大的比那些已经估计为LSDA-SIC近似的本地SIC轨道的均匀气体，并可以解释的错误PZ SIC的平衡属性，打开大门，广义SIC是更广泛的准确。

The S66 Noncovalent Interaction Benchmark Re-examined: Composite Localized Coupled Cluster Approaches

The S66 non-covalent interactions are studied through localized coupled-cluster methods and general LNO-CCSD(T)-based composite schemes. Very small RMS deviations (\leq 0.05 kcal/mol) for the low-cost composite approaches from the SILVER reference interaction energies of S66 indicate that we can safely avoid carrying out the largest basis set calculations with veryVeryTight thresholds, and apply instead additivity corrections in smaller basis sets. Interestingly, the counterpoise corrections do not have an appreciable effect on the composite schemes. These findings may prove useful for intermo…

Density-corrected DFT explained: Questions and answers

HF-DFT, the practice of evaluating approximate density functionals on Hartree-Fock densities, has long been used in testing density functional approximations. Density-corrected DFT (DC-DFT) is a general theoretical framework for identifying failures of density functional approximations by separating errors in a functional from errors in its self-consistent (SC) density. Most modern DFT calculations yield highly accurate densities, but important characteristic classes of calculation have large density-driven errors, including reaction barrier heights, electron affinities, radicals and anions in…

Improving results by improving densities: Density-corrected density functional theory

DFT calculations have become widespread in both chemistry and materials, because they usually provide useful accuracy at much lower computational cost than wavefunction-based methods. All practical DFT calculations require an approximation to the unknown exchange-correlation energy, which is then used self-consistently in the Kohn-Sham scheme to produce an approximate energy from an approximate density. Density-corrected DFT is simply the study of the relative contributions to the total energy error. In the vast majority of DFT calculations, the error due to the approximate density is negligib…

系统消除密度泛函近似中离域误差的定域轨道标度修正

Localized Orbital Scaling Correction for Systematic Elimination of Delocalization Error in Density Functional Approximations

目前流行的密度泛函近似（DFAs）的离域误差导致了密度泛函理论计算中的各种问题。为了实现普遍消除离域误差，我们开发了一个本地化轨道缩放校正（LOSC）框架，它统一了我们以前提出的全球和本地缩放方法。LOSC框架精确地表征了全局和局部分数电子的分布，因此能够以自洽和尺寸一致的方式校正系统能量、能量导数和电子密度。LOSC-DFAs导致系统地改进的结果，包括阳离子物种的解离，分子和聚合物链的带隙，电子添加和移除时的能量和密度变化，以及光电子发射光谱。

Performance of Localized-Orbital Coupled Cluster Approaches for the Conformational Energies of Longer n-alkane Chains

We report an update and enhancement of the ACONFL (conformer energies of large alkanes [Ehlert, S.; Grimme, S.; Hansen, A. J. Phys. Chem. A 2022, 126, 3521-3535]) dataset. For the ACONF12 (n-dodecane) subset, we report basis set limit canonical CCSD(T) reference data obtained from MP2-F12/cc-pV{T,Q}Z-F12 extrapolation, [CCSD(F12*)-MP2-F12]/aug-cc-pVTZ-F12, and a (T) correction from conventional CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV{D,T}Z calculations. Then we explored the performance of a variety of single and composite localized-orbital CCSD(T) approximations, ultimately finding an affordable LNO-CCSD(T)-based p…

Energetics of (H2O)20 Isomers by means of F12 Canonical and Localized Coupled Cluster Methods

We consider the performance of combined PNO-F12 approaches for the dissociation energy of water clusters as large as (H2O)20 by comparison to canonical CCSD(T)/CBS reference values obtained through n-body decomposition of post-MP2 corrections. We find that PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12b approaches with "Tight" cutoffs are generally capable of reproducing canonical CCSD(T) interaction energies to within ~0.25% and isomerization energies to ~1.5%, while requiring only a fraction of the canonical computational cost. However, basis set convergence patterns and effect of counterpoise corrections are more errati…

溶液中的离子：密度校正密度泛函理论（DC-DFT）

Ions in solution: Density Corrected Density Functional Theory (DC-DFT)

标准的密度泛函近似经常给出可疑的奇电子自由基复合物的结果，错误通常归因于自相互作用。在密度校正的密度泛函理论（DC-DFT）中，通过使用比自洽密度更精确的密度，某些类别的密度泛函理论计算得到显著改进。我们将讨论如何识别这种情况，以及DC-DFT如何更普遍地应用。为了说明，我们计算的势能面HO $\cdot$ Cl $^-$和HO $\cdot$ H $_2$ O配合物使用各种常见的近似泛函，有和没有这种密度校正。通常使用的近似产生错误的形状的表面和/或不正确的最小值时，计算自洽，而产生几乎相同的形状和最小值时，密度校正。即使在存在隐式溶剂的情况下，也保持这种改进。
