| contents | Efficiently and accurately computing molecular Auger electron spectra for larger systems is limited by the increasing complexity of the scaling in the number of doubly ionized final states with respect to the system size. In this work, we benchmark the application of multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory with a restricted active space (RAS) reference wave function, for computing the carbon K-edge decay spectra of 21 organic molecules, with decay rates computed within the one-center approximation. The performance of different basis sets and on-top functionals is evaluated and the results show that multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory is comparable in accuracy to RAS followed by second-order perturbation theory, but at a significantly reduced cost and both methods demonstrate good agreement with experiment. |
