<strong>Free</strong>-<strong>energy</strong> perturbation <strong>calculations</strong> One simple application of perturbation theory<br />
System–size effects can be greatly reduced by properly<br />
correcting for the self–interaction term, which is due to<br />
interactions between the charge and its images and the<br />
neutralizing background. 11<br />
This is true for both Ewald lattice summation and generalized<br />
reaction field treatments of finite–size effects. 12<br />
In general, free <strong>energy</strong> <strong>calculations</strong>, in which the system<br />
is transformed such that its electrical charge changes,<br />
should include system–size corrections.<br />
