We propose a second version of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF2) of Dion et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)], employing a more accurate semilocal exchange functional and the use of a large-N asymptote gradient…

In principle, many-electron correlation energy can be precisely computed from a reduced Wigner distribution function ($\mathcal{W}$) thanks to a universal functional transformation ($\mathcal{F}$), whose formal existence is akin to that of…

Resonant electron interaction with whistler-mode chorus waves is recognized as one of the main drivers of radiation belt dynamics. For moderate wave intensity, this interaction is well described by quasi-linear theory. However, recent…
