Density Functional Theory (DFT) is one of the most widely used methods for "ab initio" calculations of the structure of atoms, molecules, crystals, surfaces, and their interactions. Unfortunately, the customary introduction to DFT is often…

The Hohenberg-Kohn density functional was long ago shown to reduce to the Thomas-Fermi approximation in the non-relativistic semiclassical (or large-$Z$) limit for all matter, i.e, the kinetic energy becomes local. Exchange also becomes…

The exchange-correlation energy in Kohn-Sham density functional theory can be expressed exactly in terms of the change in the expectation of the electron-electron repulsion operator when, in the many-electron hamiltonian, this same operator…
