The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. In this Part~II of a…
Fascination with the concept of superconducting (SC) {\it superfluid density} $\rho_s$ has persisted since the beginning of superconductivity theory, with numerical values of an actual density rarely provided. Over time $\rho_s$, addressed…

A stability criterion is worked out for the superconducting phase. The validity of a prerequisite, established previously for persistent currents, is thereby confirmed. Temperature dependence is given for the specific heat and concentration…
In this paper, a phenomenological theory of saturated ferromagnetoelastic conductors is established using a multi-continuum model and the classical laws of mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetics. The theory is nonlinear and is valid…

Highly disordered superconductors, in the magnetic-field-driven insulating state, can show discontinuous current-voltage characteristics. Electron overheating has been shown to give a consistent description of this behavior, but there are…
The density functional theory is used to study the electronic structure of a quantum wire in a magnetic field. The Kohn-Sham equations are solved numerically for different values of electron densities and filling factors. The critical…
