The density functional theory (DFT) is used in a study of point defects on both UN (001) surface and sub-surface layers. We compare results for slabs of different thicknesses (both perfect and containing nitrogen or uranium vacancies) with…

Using classical density functional theory (DFT) in a modified mean-field approximation we investigate the fluid phase behavior of quasi-two dimensional dipolar fluids confined to a plane. The particles carry three-dimensional dipole moments…

In principle, we should not need the time-dependent extension of density-functional theory (TDDFT) for excitations, and in particular not for Molecular Dynamics (MD) studies: the theorem by Hohenberg and Kohn teaches us that for any…

We propose a predictive Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the calculation of solvation free energies. Our approach is based on a Helmholtz free-energy functional that is consistent with the perturbed-chain SAFT (PC-SAFT) equation of…

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…

The study of resonances (and well-posedness) for complex systems under time-periodic loading is of broad interest in application. The work of Galdi et al.~(2014) connects asymptotic stability of solutions to an unforced Cauchy problem to…
