Closed-shell molecules often dissociate into open-shell

fragments. To get reliable atomization energies, it is important to

have a theory which is of comparable quality for open- and

closed-shell systems. A good test is to check that all the components

of a spin multiplet are degenerate, as expected from exact solutions.

FCI wave functions have this property and yield degenerate energies with

Again, when pseudopotentials are employed, this tiny error is transferred

The context is rather different within KS-DFT.

Indeed, mainstream density functionals have distinct functional forms to take

into account correlation effects of same-spin and opposite-spin electron pairs.

Therefore, KS determinants corresponding to different values of $m_s$ lead to different total energies.

Although the energy obtained with $m_s=0$ is higher than the one obtained with $m_s=1$, the

bias is relatively small, \ie, more than one order of magnitude smaller

than the energy gained by reducing the fixed-node error going from the single

determinant to the FCI trial wave function. The largest bias, close to

below $1$ m\hartree{} when $\mu$ increases. As expected, with $\mu=\infty$

we observe a perfect spin-invariance of the energy (within the error bars), and the bias is not
