Self-Interaction Corrected SCAN for Solids: All-Electron Implementation with Numeric Atom-Centered Basis Functions — •Sheng Bi1, Igor Ying Zhang2, Christian Carbogno1, and Matthias Scheffler11Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin, Germany — 2Fudan University, Shanghai, China

For all semi-local density-functional approximations (DFAs), electronic self-interaction errors lead to an erroneous description of charge-transfer processes, a systematic underestimation of band gaps in semiconductors, and incorrect total energies [1]. These errors can be alleviated via localized-orbital scaling corrections [2] or via self-interaction corrections (SIC) [3]. In this work, we have implemented a reciprocal-space formulation of self-consistent SIC in the all-electron, numeric atomic-orbitals code FHI-aims, which is applicable for all semi-local DFAs, including the promising meta-GGA “strongly constrained and appropriately normed” (SCAN) functional [4]. We validate our implementation by inspecting charge transfer, cohesive energies, and band gaps for a test set of molecules and solids, showing that SIC considerably improves SCAN calculations and yields results on par with standard GW calculations at a fraction of the computational cost. This allows us to use SCAN-SIC for studying the adsorption of organic molecules on the H-Si(111) surface.
