Elevating density functional theory to chemical accuracy for water simulations through a density-corrected many-body formalism

No existing density functional correctly describes the properties of water across the entire phase diagram. The authors report a data-driven many-body potential energy function based on density-corrected SCAN functional that quantitatively reproduces the energetics of gas-phase water clusters, and c...

description No existing density functional correctly describes the properties of water across the entire phase diagram. The authors report a data-driven many-body potential energy function based on density-corrected SCAN functional that quantitatively reproduces the energetics of gas-phase water clusters, and correctly predicts the properties of liquid water.
