More accurate modelling of electron transfer in DNA
Different computational approaches often predict varying degrees of charge delocalisation. The commonly used mean-field method often exaggerates the degree to which charge is spread out, because of the self-interaction error inherent to DFT modeling. The surface-hopping method used in this study, however, does not suffer from such difficulties and treats transitions between charge states as distinct jumps between states.
