A Primer in Density Functional Theory - Lecture Notes in Physics Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st Ed. 2003 edition

Marc Notes: Originally published: 2003.; Density functional theory (DFT) is by now a well-established method for tackling the quantum mechanics of many-body systems. Originally applied to compute properties of atoms and simple molecules, DFT has quickly become a work horse for more complex applications in the chemical and materials sciences.
