Popis: | The effect of nonorthogonality in the broken symmetry approach to magnetic coupling has been explicitly considered for the first time in Hartree−Fock and a variety of DFT methods. On the basis of the results for three different systems, representative of a variety of physical situations it is shown that the most often quoted trend concerning the much larger degree of delocalization of magnetic orbitals obtained from DFT, as opposed to Hartree−Fock, is not fully justified. A new and simple way to relate the overlap integral entering into the calculation and the spin density is proposed and tested in a variety of model systems. |
