Join us online in September 2020 for this virtual addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry.

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used computational method for carrying out quantum calculations in chemistry, materials science, and biology research. Despite its enormous popularity and ...

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 ...

Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) to accurately approximate the exact properties—like free energies—of molecules or materials in a reasonable amount of time. The method is widely used even ...

Scientists use quantum many-body data and machine learning to boost density functional theory accuracy for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) A new trick for modeling molecules with ...

Living organisms, ecosystems and the planet Earth are, from a physics point of view, examples of extraordinarily large and complex systems that are not in thermal equilibrium. To physically describe ...
