مستخلص: Through the use of the piecewise-linearity condition of the total energy, we correct the self-interaction for the study of polarons by constructing nonempirical functionals at the semilocal level of theory. We consider two functionals, the γ DFT and μ DFT functionals, both of which are based on the addition of a weak local potential to the semilocal Hamiltonian to enforce the piecewise-linearity condition. We show that the resulting polaron properties are in good agreement with reference hybrid functional calculations. This supports the use of semilocal functionals for calculating polaron properties.
