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 ...

Condensed matter modelling encompasses a spectrum of methodologies aimed at deciphering the intimate properties of solids and liquids by combining rigorous quantum mechanical theory with computational ...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) has emerged as a cornerstone in modern computational chemistry, offering a robust framework to predict and elucidate molecular structures and reaction mechanisms. By ...

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 ...

Knowing where the electrons are within a molecule can go a long way to explaining its structure, its properties, and its reactivity. Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) methods, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from China University of Petroleum (East China), in collaboration with international partners, have reported a comprehensive review of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques integrated ...
