Density functional theory of electrowetting [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 The phenomenon of electrowetting, i.e., the dependence of the macroscopic contact angle of a fluid on the electrostatic potential of the substrate, is analyzed in terms of the density functional theory of wetting. It is shown that electrowetting is not an electrocapillarity effect, i.e., it cannot be consistently understood in terms of the variation of

Current-density functional theory for bosonic superfluids
Journal of Physics Communications, 2023 A finite-temperature current-density functional theory for bosonic superfluids (sf-CDFT) in the thermal equilibrium state is proposed herein. In the sf-CDFT, hydrodynamic physical quantities, such as particle number density, current density, and the ...

Density functional theory: An introduction [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2000 Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most widely used methods for ab initio calculations of the structure of atoms, molecules, crystals, surfaces, and their interactions. Unfortunately, the customary introduction to DFT is often considered too lengthy to be included in various curricula.

The local density approximation in density functional theory [PDF]
Pure and Applied Analysis, 2020 We give the first mathematically rigorous justification of the Local Density Approximation in Density Functional Theory. We provide a quantitative estimate on the difference between the grand-canonical Levy-Lieb energy of a given density (the lowest possible energy of all quantum states having this density) and the integral over the Uniform Electron ...

Density-functional fluctuation theory of crowds
Nature Communications, 2018 Tools from statistical physics can be used to investigate a large variety of fields ranging from economics to biology. Here the authors first adapt density-functional theory to predict the distributions of crowds in new environments and then validate ...

Investigation of structure and vibrational properties of cyclobutane pirimidine dimer [PDF]
Hemijska Industrija, 2013 We performed a theoretical analysis of the structure and vibrational properties of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer, which is the main product in a photochemical reaction involving two molecules of 1-methylthymine.

Implicit density-functional theory [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2006 A fermion ground state energy functional is set up in terms of particle density, relative pair density, and kinetic energy tensor density. It satisfies a minimum principle if constrained by a complete set of compatibility conditions. A partial set, which thereby results in a lower bound energy under minimization, is obtained from the solution of model ...
