Chemical Applications of Density-Functional Theory

This text combines the two applications of density-functional theory, electronic structure and statistical mechanics, in one forum. It discusses how density-functional theory is used by quantum chemists and solid-state physicists to calculate electronic structures. The book presents the use of density-functional theory in the study of phase transition and in homogeneous fluids by statistical mechanics, and emphasizes both state-of-the-art techniques in areas of application and methodology development.
