Fourteen Easy Lessons in Density Functional Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Density functional theory (DFT) is now the most commonly used method of electronic structure calculation in both condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry, thanks in part to the focus it has received over the first 50 years of the Sanibel Symposium. We present a short history, and review fourteen short and easy but important lessons about nonrelativistic DFT, with some partiality but with a minimum of technical complication.

Density Functional Theory Studies of Defects in the (5,5) Silicon Nanotube
We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the properties of defect in arepresentative armchair model of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs). To this aim, the structures of pristine and defective(5,5) SiNTs have been optimized and the properties such as bond lengths, total energies, binding energies,.formation energies, gap energies, and dipole moments have been evaluat...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of 2,3-dihydro-1H-phenothiazine-4(5aH)-one as an Ionophore in Construction of a Cation Selective Electrode by Density Functional Theory
In this study, the complexation of 2,3-dihydro-1H-phenothiazine-4(5aH)-one with 14 various cations were investigated by density functional theory. At the outset, the structures of the ligand, different cations and their derived complexes were optimized geometrically. Then, IR calculations were performed on them in order to acquire the formation enthalpy and Gibbs free energy values. The obtaine...
متن کاملDensity and Polarization Profiles of Dipolar Hard Ellipsoids Confined between Hard Walls: A Density Functional Theory Approach
The density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (DFT). The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. The number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. For the zero order in...
متن کاملA Density Functional Theory Study of Structure of Phosphonic Acid
The molecular structure of the stable conformation of phosphonic acid in gas phase has beencomputed by employing complete geometry optimization in Density Functional Theory(DFT) methods. The methods used for calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that havebeen studied in two series of basis sets: D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygenatoms; LANL2DZ for phosphorus. Bond lengths and angle...
متن کاملTHE DENSITY PROFILES OF A LENNARD -JONES FLUID CONFINED TO A SLIT
The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...
