Jeanmairet, Guillaume; Levy, Nicolas; Levesque, Maximilien; Borgis, Daniel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
We propose an in silico experiment to introduce the classical density functional theory (cDFT). Density functional theories, whether quantum or classical, rely on abstract concepts that are nonintuitive; however, they are at the heart of powerful tools and active fields of research in both physics and chemistry. They led to the 1998 Nobel Prize in…
