Density Functional Theory (DFT) has emerged as a pivotal tool in quantum mechanical simulations for investigating the electronic structure of matter, offering a balance between computational ...

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 ...

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 ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is a cornerstone tool of modern physics, chemistry, and engineering used to explore the behavior of electrons. While essential in modeling systems with many electrons, ...

The paper explores in detail the intricate relationship between the results of the quantum-chemical calculations and the approximations they rely upon. When chemists want (or need) to include some ...

My group started working on hybrid DFT three years ago when we began our collaboration with the Park group, with whom we were trying to understand the properties of conducting metal-organic frameworks ...

Due to its high electron mobilities at ambient temperature and peculiar electronic behaviors like the quantum hall effect, which imitates massless transportation and results in high superconductivity, ...

A rotating cylinder with its side cut away to expose the core, showing patches of purple, blue, green, yellow, and orange that are dense in the middle and more diffuse toward the edges. This rotating ...
