Current-density functional theory for bosonic superfluids

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The local density approximation in density functional theory [PDF]

open access: yesPure 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 ...

Repulsively diverging gradient of the density functional in the reduced density matrix functional theory

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
The reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) is a remarkable tool for studying properties of ground states of strongly interacting quantum many body systems.

Potential functionals versus density functionals [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. A 88, 062505 (2013), 2013
Potential functional approximations are an intriguing alternative to density functional approximations. The potential functional that is dual to the Lieb density functional is defined and properties given. The relationship between Thomas-Fermi theory as a density functional and as a potential functional is derived.

A simple and efficient route towards improved energetics within the framework of density-corrected density functional theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The crucial step in density-corrected Hartree-Fock density functional theory (DC(HF)-DFT) is to decide whether the density produced by the density functional for a specific calculation is erroneous and hence should be replaced by, in this case, the HF density.

AIRBED: a simplified density functional theory model for physisorption on surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Dispersion interactions are commonly included in density functional theory (DFT) calculations through the addition of an empirical correction. In this study, a modification is made to the damping function in DFT-D2 calculations, to describe repulsion at ...

Density-functional fluctuation theory of crowds

open access: yesNature 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]

open access: yesHemijska 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.
