In other terms, the spin density dependence usually introduced in the correlation functionals of KS-DFT tries to mimic the effect of the on-top pair density. -Based on this reasoning, a similar approach has been used in the context of multi configurational DFT in order to remove the $S_z$ dependency. -In practice, these approaches introduce the effective spin polarisation +A sufficient condition to achieve spin-multiplet degeneracy is to eliminate all dependence on $S_z$, which in the case of the functional $\ecmd(\argecmd)$ means removing the dependency on the spin polarization $\zeta(\br{})$ used in the PBE correlation functional $\varepsilon_{\text{c}}^{\text{PBE}}(\argepbe)$ (see Eq. \eqref{eq:def_ecmdpbe}). It has been proposed to replace in functionals the dependence on the spin polarization by the dependence on the on-top pair density~\cite{MosSan-PRA-91,BecSavSto-TCA-95,Sav-INC-96a,Sav-INC-96a} (see, also, Refs.~\onlinecite{PerSavBur-PRA-95,StaDav-CPL-01}). Most often, the on-top pair density is used through an effective spin polarisation +%Based on this reasoning, a similar approach has been used in the context of multi configurational DFT in order to remove the $S_z$ dependency. +%In practice, these approaches introduce the effective spin polarisation \begin{equation} \label{eq:def_effspin} - \tilde{\zeta}(n,\ntwo^{\psibasis}) = + \tilde{\zeta}(n_{2}) = % \begin{cases} - \sqrt{ n^2 - 4 \ntwo^{\psibasis} } + \sqrt{ 1 - 2 n_{2}/n^2 } % 0 & \text{otherwise.} % \end{cases} \end{equation} -which uses the on-top pair density $\ntwo^{\psibasis}$ of a given wave function $\psibasis$. +which uses the on-top pair density $n_{2,\psibasis}$ of a given wave function $\psibasis$. The advantages of this approach are at least two folds: i) the effective spin polarisation $\tilde{\zeta}$ is $S_z$ invariant, ii) it introduces an indirect dependency on the on-top pair density of the wave function $\psibasis$ which usually improves the treatment of strong correlation. -Nevertheless, the use of $\tilde{\zeta}$ presents several disadvantages as it can become complex when $n^2 - 4 \ntwo^{\psibasis}<0$ and also +Nevertheless, the use of $\tilde{\zeta}$ presents several disadvantages as it can become complex when $n^2 - 4 n_{2,\psibasis}<0$ and also the formula of equation \eqref{eq:def_effspin} is exact only when the density $n$ and on-top pair density $\ntwo^{\psibasis}$ are obtained from a single determinant\cite{PerSavBur-PRA-95}, but it is applied to multi configurational wave functions. An alternative to eliminate the $S_z$ dependency would be to simply set $\zeta(\br{})=0$, but this would lower the accuracy of the usual correlation functional, such as the PBE correlation functional used here $\varepsilon_{\text{c}}^{\text{PBE}}(\argepbe)$. Nevertheless, as the spin polarisation usually tries to mimic the on-top pair density and the function $\ecmd(\argecmd)$ explicitly depends on the on-top pair density (see equations \eqref{eq:def_ecmdpbe} and \eqref{eq:def_beta}), we propose here to use the $\ecmd$ functional with \textit{a zero spin polarisation}. This ensures a $S_z$ invariance and, as will be numerically shown, very weakly affect the accuracy of the functional.
