Popis:	We extend some of the well established self-interaction correction (SIC) schemes of density-functional theory to the case of systems with noncollinear magnetism. Our proposed SIC schemes are tested on a set of molecules and metallic clusters in combination with the widely used local spin-density approximation. As expected from the collinear SIC, we show that the averaged-density SIC works well for improving ionization energies but fails to improve more subtle quantities like the dipole moments of polar molecules. We investigate the exchange-correlation magnetic field produced by our extension of the Perdew-Zunger SIC, showing that it is not aligned with the local total magnetization, thus producing an exchange-correlation torque.
