Importance of Orbital Optimization for Double-Hybrid Density Functionals: Application of the OO-PBE-QIDH Model for Closed- and Open-Shell Systems

We assess here the reliability of orbital optimization for modern double-hybrid density functionals such as the parameter-free PBE-QIDH model. We select for that purpose a set of closed- and open-shell strongly and weakly bound systems, including some standard and widely used data sets, to show that...

Description
Summary:We assess here the reliability of orbital optimization for modern double-hybrid density functionals such as the parameter-free PBE-QIDH model. We select for that purpose a set of closed- and open-shell strongly and weakly bound systems, including some standard and widely used data sets, to show that orbital optimization improves the results with respect to standard models, notably for electronically complicated systems, and through first-order properties obtained as derivatives of the energy.
