Abstract

We evaluate the performances of ab initio $\mathit{GW}$ calculations for the ionization energies and highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps of 13 gas phase molecules of interest for organic electronic and photovoltaic applications, including the ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ fullerene, pentacene, free-base porphyrins and phtalocyanine, PTCDA, and standard monomers such as thiophene, fluorene, benzothiazole, or thiadiazole. Standard $G$${}_{0}$$W$${}_{0}$ calculations, that is, starting from eigenstates obtained with local or semilocal functionals, significantly improve the ionization energy and band gap as compared to density functional theory Kohn-Sham results, but the calculated quasiparticle values remain too small as a result of overscreening. Starting from Hartree-Fock-like eigenvalues provides much better results and is equivalent to performing self-consistency on the eigenvalues, with a resulting accuracy of 2%--4$%$ as compared to experiment. Our calculations are based on an efficient Gaussian-basis implementation of $\mathit{GW}$ with explicit treatment of the dynamical screening through contour deformation techniques.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
