The fully spin-polarized state 4 S ( 1 s 2 s 3 s ) is the lowest quadruplet with S -symmetry and even parity and it is nearly-degenerate with the 4 S ( 1 s 2 p 3 p ) state. We find significant fixed-node errors proportional to Z at the Hartree–Fock level while the two-configuration wave function leads to nearly exact energies. This broadly agrees with our analogous study on Be-like atoms so that the dependence of fixed-node errors on density appears to be similar in both spin-polarized and unpolarized atomic systems.}, journal={CHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Kulahlioglu, Adem H. and Rasch, Kevin and Hu, Shuming and Mitas, Lubos}, year={2014}, month={Jan}, pages={170–174} }

We demonstrate that the dependence can be significant, in particular in the case of 3d transition-metal compounds, which we adopt as examples. We illustrate how exchange-correlation functionals with variable exact-exchange component can be exploited to reduce the fixed-node errors. On the basis of these results we argue that the fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo provides a variational approach for optimization of effective hamiltonians with parameters.}, number={11}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, author={Kolorenc, Jindrich and Hu, Shuming and Mitas, Lubos}, year={2010}, month={Sep} }
