Self-energy self-consistent density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory

Mean - field dynamical density functional theory

We examine the out-of-equilibrium dynamical evolution of density profiles of ultrasoft particles under time-varying external confining potentials in three spatial dimensions. The theoretical formalism employed is the dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) of Marini Bettolo Marconi and Tarazona [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8032 (1999)], supplied by an equilibrium excess free energy functional that i...

Self-consistent Mean Field Theory in Weakly Ionized Gas

We present a self-consistent mean field theory of the dynamo in 3D and turbulent diffusion in 2D in weakly ionized gas. We find that in 3D, the backreaction does not alter the beta effect while it suppresses the alpha effect when the strength of a mean magnetic field exceeds the critical value Bc ∼ √ νinτn〈v2〉/Rm. Here, νin, τn, and Rm are ion-neutral collision frequency, correlation time of ne...

Self-Consistent Mean-Field Theory for Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids

Research in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has exploded in the last two decades, which are marked by an exponential increase in the number of theoretical and experimental publications in this field. The typically good thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and solvability of RTILs make them superior electrolytes in many electrochemical applications, such as metal electrodeposition and e...

Bose-Einstein condensation in self-consistent mean-field theory

There is a wide-spread belief in the literature on Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting atoms that all variants of mean-field theory incorrectly describe the condensation phase transition, exhibiting, instead of the necessary second-order transition, a first-order transition, even for weakly interacting Bose gas. In the present paper, it is shown that a self-consistent mean-field approach ...
