CPM (Very) Informal Lunch Seminar

Density Functional Theory

Jeremy Taylor

Physics Department, McGill University

The 1998 Nobel prize for chemistry were awarded to Walter Kohn for his development of the density-functional theory and to John Pople for his development of computational methods in quantum chemistry. In this informal seminar I will give a short review of what is DFT, and how to use DFT to predict properties of condensed matter.
