In the past decade, a number of approaches have been developed to fix the failure of (semi)local density-functional theory (DFT) in describing intermolecular interactions. The performance of several such approaches with respect to highly accurate benchmarks is compared here on a set of separation-dependent interaction energies for ten dimers. Since the benchmarks were unknown before the DFT-based results were collected, this comparison constitutes a blind test of these methods.
在过去十年中,已开发出多种方法来解决(半)局域密度泛函理论(DFT)在描述分子间相互作用方面的不足。本文针对十个二聚体的一组与分离相关的相互作用能,比较了其中几种方法相对于高精度基准的性能。由于在收集基于DFT的结果之前基准是未知的,所以这种比较构成了对这些方法的一次盲测。
