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.
|

Consequently, in the context of RS-DFT, the determinant expansions is impacted by this spurious effect, as opposed to FCI.

In this Appendix, we investigate the impact of the spin contamination on the FN-DMC energy

Hence, at the FN-DMC level the error due to the lack of

spin-invariance with RS-DFT-CIPSI trial wave functions is below the

comparison of energies of systems with different spin quantum numbers

as in atomization energies.
