At its core, DFT postulates that the ground-state energy of a quantum system is a functional of the electron density. This principle, known as the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, simplifies the problem of ...
Orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) represents a promising reformulation of quantum mechanics for materials and molecular simulations. By expressing the kinetic energy solely as a ...
INTRODUCTION: Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used method for calculating the electronic properties of materials. The method is based on the idea of approximating the many-electron wave ...
