Abstract

The corrected Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham and corrected Harris total energy functionals recently proposed [B. Zhou and Y. A. Wang, J. Chem. Phys. 128, 084101 (2008)] have been generalized to the Hartree-Fock method. We have tested the functionals on a few molecular systems and found them to be very useful in accelerating the convergence of the total energy during a self-consistent field process.
