Basics of Density Functional Theory

Density Functional Theory Home

An overview over the basic principles of DFT and some neat applications of DFT to real life problems is given in a talk that I gave at the Nuclear Physics Seminar at OSU and at the physics colloquium of the University of Braunschweig, Germany. Some application examples are currently studied at OSU (electronic and structural properties of defects in Si and GaN), others (proteins and carbon nanotubes) are taken from the literature.
