Density Functional Theory, Part 4: Kohn-Sham DFT.
Welcome to the fourth unit of the series on density functional theory. In the last units, I talked about the fundamentals of DFT that include many-body S.E and the approximations for DFT and Hartree and Hartree-Fock theories. DFT is the most applicable tool for the electronic structure calculations of materials and by far the most commonly used theory to describe materials behavior. We have already discussed that many different approaches are behind DFT in its foundations such as Hohenberg–Kohn theory, and Hartree-Fock and Hartree theories. In this unit, we can move ahead to examine how practical density functional theory was implemented relying on Kohn-Sham theory and we will talk about how quantum mechanics works and the heart of DFT. So, In this unit, I am going to talk about the heart of DFT which is Kohn-Sham theory.
So, by listening to this unit, you will understand how DFT works for the quantitative predictions of electronic structures.
