Spin Contamination - Density Functional Theory (DFT)

Density Functional Theory (DFT)

Although many DFT codes simply calculate spin-contamination using the Kohn-Sham orbitals as if they were Hartree-Fock orbitals, this is not necessarily correct.

Famous quotes containing the words functional and/or theory:

    Stay-at-home mothers, . . . their self-esteem constantly assaulted, . . . are ever more fervently concerned that their offspring turn out better so they won’t have to stoop to say “I told you so.” Working mothers, . . . their self-esteem corroded by guilt, . . . are praying their kids turn out functional so they can stop being defensive and apologetic and instead assert “See? I did do it all.”
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
